Well, there’s slightly more to the story, but you got the general idea, yet. I think if I knew more about the genre I would have probably felt that something was wrong already at that point 🙂

If you don’t enjoy them, I look forward to the enjoyably witty rant:)))

I pretty much agree with you there. I’m not really interested in dragons, unicorns, spells etc. I wouldn’t read a book just for the content, for me it’s about the writing style.

Can we talk about the “oh no, he educated them and gave them money” review you referred for a second? Like seriously. I read the first two pages, and I was out because it was annoying. It’s not like the girls were traumatized, they just wanted better lives than the village could offer. (At least from what I gathered in my two pages and these reviews.)

You’re welcome 🙂 I do like some fantasy, just not the full range of it. For example, the Harry Potter series are my favourite books, but apart from them I only revisit the genre from time to time 🙂

No, I’ve never tried them and never heard about them. Thanks for your recommendation! I’m composing a list of fantasy I might try later.

Thank you CJ! Yes, I think we match in our attitude. I was willing to try, I thought maybe I can go through this fine, if so many people enjoy it, but all I managed to achieve is the occasional wow at the amount of the author’s imagination.

Thank you Stephen! You are right, it wasn’t a disaster. It might have been even better than I expected (even though I din’t expect that much magic in problem solving). For some reason, I thought you like fantasy 🙂

Thanks NS for the attitude, I also think that it’s good I tried. Also, I will try again. I had a suspicion that YA and fantasy might be of poorer writing, and probably because people who love these genres love the actual stories, visuals, situations, so they are willing to ignore how the stories are written. Bone Gap wasn’t that bad. I will try more fantasy. I also used to think it’s all dragons and spells but apparently there are different subgenres.
