I love first person and will always favor that style over others.<br /><br />Now, the Robertson books are told in the regular third person and that's fine too. They are fabulous books and I'm hoping the second book lives up to the first.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-75500542356940905332012-01-29T04:37:42.542-05:002012-01-29T04:37:42.542-05:00As soon as I catch up on my library pile and make ...As soon as I catch up on my library pile and make a dent in my global and Australian women writers' challenges, I'll try Imogen Robertson's books.<br /><br />I must say that House at Sea's End about Ruth Galloway is even better than the first two books.

But at least I took a look, brought the book home with me from the library and read a few pages.<br /><br />I was so disappointed that the author chooses to write her stories in this style. I really have problems with present tense.<br />Nearly insurmountable problems.<br /><br />At any rate, have you read INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS yet? That's the first book in this series that I raved abour recently. <br /><br />Just wonderin'<br /><br />Yeah, you sort of have to have this book. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-70286241347693163692012-01-28T14:20:39.240-05:002012-01-28T14:20:39.240-05:00Aaagh!
