Fiona Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Has anyone read her books? I love The Bronze Horseman and Tully, personally. Her others - Tatianna and Alexander and The Girl in Times Square I found a little too... erm how can I put it? Watery without much in between the pages? Like the stuffing had been knocked out and as if she was trying too hard to make people emotional. The Bronze Horseman though I loved. The characters, the story and the intensity of the emotions she made you feel. Sometimes I think she goes a bit overboard though and her style can seem a bit simplistic occasionally. And too much detail in other parts. I mean, you don't have to go into great detail about love scenes to get the point accross. It feels like the easy way out, to me. But despite minor complaints, I LOVED The Bronze Horseman. I felt she shouldn't have wrote Tatianna and Alexander, the sequel though or at least have not given it that ending... But I am eagerly awaiting The Summer Garden - the final book. It sounds good and I find her immensely readable. Although, a little tooooo sentimental at times. Tully was my second favourite of hers. I love the characters she creates - which is where this author excells I think, creating characters you care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
