It sucks when you can't connect with the characters, cause then you can't connect to the story emotionally either. I'm glad you enjoyed some aspects of it though. Great review, girl! :D<br /><br />~ Maida<br /><a href="http://loveaffairwithabookreviews.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Literary Love Affair</a> <br />MåїÐ»-(¯`v´¯)-»https://www.blogger.com/profile/17761335857561590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-28810211684221838032013-08-24T09:08:33.959+02:002013-08-24T09:08:33.959+02:00It was I think, but still it's not for me and ...It was I think, but still it's not for me and probably not for you :)Tanja - Tanychyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084789780467257259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-64106185026846330012013-08-24T04:22:42.947+02:002013-08-24T04:22:42.947+02:00Oh, Elizabeth Wein.

Kudos on trying out this one, though! Sounds like it was a tad better.

I do think it can be pretty impossible to really appreciate it though if you aren't completely invested in the characters. Sorry to hear that you didn't have the emotional connection with this one, but great review! :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-12010684295418726602013-08-23T09:15:24.299+02:002013-08-23T09:15:24.299+02:00I'm really glad to see that there is more peop...I'm really glad to see that there is more people who don't enjoy these.
