Also, th...You're doing NaNo--really?! Awesome!<br /><br />Also, the review feature on my blog is partly designed to keep <i>me</i> going in the reading side of writing education. ;) I'm glad it works for others, too!<br /><br />It's hard to say for sure, but just guessing from the subtle differences between the way you and I approach writing fairy tales, I wonder if your attraction to The Princess Curse has to do with the fact that TPC takes a somewhat more modern approach to storytelling than Marillier's <i>Wildwood Dancing.</i> The latter is old-fashioned stylistically and structurally, which is my usual bent. Both are well written, however, although Haskell was a bit less successful than Marillier at maintaining even quality throughout.<br /><br />If you do read this one, I'd love to hear what you think of it!Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-9885597498474128732012-11-05T06:19:39.791-08:002012-11-05T06:19:39.791-08:00I can't put my finger on why, but this one ins...I can't put my finger on why, but this one instantly appeals more to me than Wildwood.<br /><br />Coming here regularly reminds me that reading should be part of my writing education. I really need to make time for it in my schedule, as much as for blogging, and--horror--NaNoWriMo scribbling!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107748184124761940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-60370593636460268022012-10-31T22:29:16.005-07:002012-10-31T22:29:16.005-07:00Yes, we could.
