^ If you haven't played Borderlants TPS you should. Janey flirting with Athena and her getting flustered/not knowing what to say is pretty fun and cute. The TVH and UVH are worth it as well cause it's told by Tiny Tina with Athena jumping in now and then.
Bluebell Hall was....a nice try. It had all the elements, but she seemed to be in such a rush to cover them all that none got any real development, leaving the whole thing kind of shallow. It would have been a great book if it were at least twice as long.
Yeah, that was the problem with My Lady King as well. The pacing was too fast. If she slows down I imagine the books would be pretty good, but as it stands. Not really worth reading I think. If anything at least they are short so you can kinda say you haven't wasted your time, but at the same time. Yeah.
Graveyard Sparrow by the same author is much better. Yes, it's pretty obvious who the villain is early on, but it doesn't really matter all that much if you know since that's not really the point. It does suffer from an ending that sort of fizzles a bit when it comes to the action though. Certainly it's more worth reading than BH was.
Alright, I'll give that a go sometime this year xD
