I mean, I absolutely love the fantasy genre - especially the high fantasy genre - but some can be quite confusing. Unfortunately this one was pretty confusing. Still, I hope I like the sequel.

I personally enjoyed Seraphina, but I did find it hard to get int at first....and yes, the names pissed me off!

I love, love, ...Sorry this didn't work for you. I love, love, loved it. It was a hard book to form an attachment too though - it took me a long time. I actually like the American cover a lot better (I assume that's the UK cover or does Australia usually have its own covers)? Usually I prefer UK covers over American.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-65072532161448169142013-01-31T10:11:46.756+10:002013-01-31T10:11:46.756+10:00Oh my--yours is one of the few negative reviews I&...Oh my--yours is one of the few negative reviews I've seen for this book! Thanks for your honest opinion, though--always good to be forewarned about potential issues. One of the reasons I sometimes have trouble with fantasy is the name thing, actually, so....it will be interesting to see what happens when I finally get to it.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/01/midwinterblood-review.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-69287759051790503632013-01-31T09:12:56.074+10:002013-01-31T09:12:56.074+10:00Aww I'm sad you didn't love this one, I re...Aww I'm sad you didn't love this one, I really loved it!

There has been so much hype surrounding this book, and the magical dragons sounds FANTASTIC. But if there has to be a list of character names in the back of the book... uh oh. That just means there's a lot of characters to keep in mind! I get confused easily by character names, so I'm scared to read it now. I'm glad you're giving the sequel a chance though! Thanks for brilliant and honest review, Erin!Jen (Books and Other Happy Ever Afters)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13191886477394054542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-19051947762815846432013-01-31T06:46:02.570+10:002013-01-31T06:46:02.570+10:00Seraphina is one of those books I read about eight...Seraphina is one of those books I read about eighty pages into on my Nook and then just kind of left alone for a long time. I haven't felt that compelled to finish it, which was rather disappointing to me as well, since I love dragons. Oh, well. Nice review. High fantasy can get really confusing sometimes. :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768919679687372349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-7390309137245855542013-01-31T05:11:51.404+10:002013-01-31T05:11:51.404+10:00Oh no!!!
