So, can you elaborate a bit more about what you don't like? Excessive description? Unrealistic dialogue? Characters acting out of - umm - character? Accidentally dropping one of her books causing 9 broken bones in a foot? |
I really didn't care for Jamie. I thought he was just one dimensional at best. The Time travel ring of rocks was silly. The female lead (forget her name) was just not a strong character at all. The way Diana writes is not enjoyable. The effort she puts into her research and the way it comes across is just dull.
