I have just started to read this book and so far it is really good. The author makes the story very clear and very easy to understand. She has also gives clear descriptions of all the characters. For instance, she describes Leyla as "This girl in the looking glass resembled a Princess!" states Alev. In my opinion, I feel this book is very well written and would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in fiction and people who love using their imagination.
ReplyDeleteI read about three to four chapters of this book and I just did not like certain parts of the book so I stopped reading this book
ReplyDeleteWhy did you stop reading this book? Was it the characters? The length? I'm also curious about the detail. I kind of think that this would have a lot of detail about every little thing.
DeleteThere was not a whole lot of detail and when there was detail there was very little. I stopped reading this book because it seemed as though every two chapters was about the same thing but then all of the sudden the author would change topics. In my opinion it did not flow the way I think the author would have liked it to. Then again that is just my opinon.
