Cherryh. Most of Cherryh's books do demand patience, as Nymeth points out. I have sometimes read for 150 pages before being totally sucked in by her books. I'm hoping that I just wasn't in the mood for that particular dialogue at that particular time. I surprised myself by being as annoyed as I was! There is still much to like about the book as you can tell by my creative rating of this one.Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-52017283365920643732008-06-17T08:50:00.000-07:002008-06-17T08:50:00.000-07:00After reading Nymeth's review I put this on my wis...After reading Nymeth's review I put this on my wishlist--but hopefully the story and folklore will get me over bad dialogue. Sometimes these parts are easy enough to just skim, though, right?? I'll have to keep my eye for her other books as well. Thanks for the review!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-73194765060266054702008-06-08T17:09:00.000-07:002008-06-08T17:09:00.000-07:00I am not too familiar with Slavic folklore.

This sounds like an interesting book, it too bad about the dialogue.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-51518866413638144252008-06-07T13:14:00.000-07:002008-06-07T13:14:00.000-07:00Both you and Dark Orpheus, who are Cherryh fans, w...Both you and Dark Orpheus, who are Cherryh fans, were not too crazy about this novel. That makes me look forward to reading the rest of her work even more, since it means that your previous experiences with her made you expect even more of her :)<BR/><BR/>You're not the only one to complain about the bickering, btw...I didn't have a problem with it, but I was looking on Amazon and a lot of other readers did. Sometimes it really is a matter of mood. This is definitely a book that demands patience.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
