Agreement on all parts. E was my first book, I've since bought a few more. I
get confused if there are more than two people in a book so I don't notice
if there are ten or a hundred. I like E better than CP but I think it was
more because of the tone of the book. While CP was a better book, E was just
a lot....lighter I guess. Oh well.
I just finished A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. Quite a complex
read. Not bad at all. Not much fantasy/magic which I think made it better.
Have the next ones, will be starting them soon.
