But, I've decided to take another stab at it with a more open mind. Your review convinced me to let go of my preconceived ideas and accept the impossible. So thanks for your great review. I'll let you know if it works!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-16548927153201222152011-06-29T13:39:31.537-06:002011-06-29T13:39:31.537-06:00I haven't read this yet but it will be on my K...I haven't read this yet but it will be on my Kindle tomorrow am :o]<br /><br />Your review was perfect and really piqued my interest even more than the summary has. <br /><br />I love the cover, too, it's gorgeous and I'm glad to hear the story within does the cover justice!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thebookfaery.com" rel="nofollow">Kristi</a>Kristi The Book Faeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198548056627373947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-53109933735229042302011-06-28T21:10:24.086-06:002011-06-28T21:10:24.086-06:00Thanks for the review hon! it sounds good, though ...Thanks for the review hon! it sounds good, though i wont be rushing to get it...

@Mi...@Nic... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!<br /><br />@Misha... Well, some of the mythologies were personal, like those passed down from parent to child. :) I also love books of myths! :)<br /><br />@Blodeuedd... I know, isn't it just beautiful?<br /><br />@anachronist... all women can relate in one way or another, right? :)<br /><br />@...Petty...Well, the cover makes sense in one scene. You might like that. :)<br /><br />@Savannah.... I did too. It was so interesting!<br /><br />@Jenny...it wasn't a problem for me, but I have seen where some people didn't like it. I think if you understand that the flow was confusing, it actually became less so. Hm... confused? lol<br /><br />@Cozy... I so agree! :)<br /><br />@Marg... Oh so true! It is different and that is what made it amazing. :)Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-50309749907061094502011-06-27T10:15:05.528-06:002011-06-27T10:15:05.528-06:00I agree with you.

I've seen a lot of people complain about the confusing aspects of the book, but like you, I thought that the confusing bits were quite appropriate given the mysterious nature & complexity of the flow as well as the unusual abilities of its inhabitants. <br /><br />I think the primary reason this book won me over so thoroughly is that it's so different from all the carbon copy paranormals out right now. There are quite a few really original & fascinating elements in this book.Marg @ Clockwork Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798495776647093913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-89855958392594096022011-06-27T10:11:19.282-06:002011-06-27T10:11:19.282-06:00Thanks for the review.
