Once back online I'd made the decision to start writing as Tracy Terry instead of Petty Witter.

A nice honest review, as always.
I don...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />A nice honest review, as always.<br /><br />I don't think this is a book I would invest in, as firstly it does sound a little heavy going and secondly we are already well into the series with this book and I should imagine it to be the type of series where you need to be in from the start, to have any chance of knowing 'what's what' and 'who's who'.<br /><br />On a slightly different note, I was wondering if you had changed email addresses or made any other changes to the site, during your recent computer issues, as your comments are being dumped in my moderation box, which should generally only happen when you leave your initial comment.<br /><br />I hope that you have a great book lined up to read next and that you have a good week,<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-3547714363920526282013-10-21T20:10:56.992+01:002013-10-21T20:10:56.992+01:00Great choice for the reading challenge and terrifi...Great choice for the reading challenge and terrific review, Tracy!
