I've been curious about this book as it sounds interesting and potentially good. Thank you for the review and yes I read that scene. :) So I will have to remember it if I get the book.

@Clev...@Pam... I know... I loved the cover art too!<br />@Cleverly Inked... Thanks. It just made it impossible to rate for me.<br />@...Petty... Thanks. I thought it was the easiest way to provide a spoiler so you don't accidentally see it. <br />@Blodeuedd... I admit, I almost did close the book.<br />@Melissa... Thanks. :)<br />@Jenny... lol.. no need to be crazy. I'm insane enough for the both of us. ;D<br />@Stephanie... Thanks. Curious now as to the other book?<br />@Missie... perhaps by knowing it may not take you by surprise like it did me. :) Maybe you'll enjoy it even more than I did! :)Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-456635092895226842011-01-24T11:15:15.080-07:002011-01-24T11:15:15.080-07:00I read the spoiler.

And that is quite disturbing. <br /><br />The mythology and world building sound fascinating so I definitely be giving this one a try, but I'm glad to know what to expect.

A similar kind of scene got me incensed in a book I really liked overall. No matter how much I enjoy a book, however, I had to disclose my issue in the review. So, thank you for being fair and balanced. <br />On another note, I recently got excited about another book which features the Book of Raziel as well. My rabid enthusiasm petered out when I finally got into it. But this one still sounds exciting…but for that one scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-6298463577447694742011-01-24T09:55:29.061-07:002011-01-24T09:55:29.061-07:00I'm actually really excited for this book thou...I'm actually really excited for this book though it's taking all of my restraint not to highlight the spoiler and find out what bothered you. I'm going to pick this one up this week and then I will be back here when I'm done, highlighting that section like a crazy person!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-13219142369027393522011-01-24T09:18:33.791-07:002011-01-24T09:18:33.791-07:00The world in this book sounds amazing, and it'...The world in this book sounds amazing, and it's too bad that scene is in there because, frankly, that makes me not want to read the book :/<br /><br />Great honest review, Melissa!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-33913813005951640622011-01-24T08:52:56.613-07:002011-01-24T08:52:56.613-07:00I had to read the spoiler and I understand you.
