I know that "small people" element you mention, it's just too weird to expect those sorts of characters to be paramount to their land's future.

I mean, I've enjoyed the author's previous works but this one just wasn't enjoyable sadly. Still, I hope the sequel works out better for me and for you as well(that is if I decide to read it or not). Nice review!<br /><br />New follower.Erin W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057902364536764649noreply@blogger.com
