My Stance:
Its a late friday night and I hate to say it, but Goodreads is down. They are working on getting it back up so I will come back and edit the information and complete synopsis to a better version. Currently I used what Barnes and Noble had, and frankly it upsets me. I haven't read Froi yet and it's on my list of books to get to soon. I am not sure exactly when I will get around to it, but I definitely will sometime soon.
First off, much like music, if I know I like the artist I will straight up by the CD and not question the quality of the music and whatnot, books are somewhat similar. There isn't many authors I have read, that I can say that they make me want to run out and purchase every book they have; except, Melina Marchetta is one of those authors. There is a small list that I would do that will, mainly because their diverse work and the way they can take a topic I am not normally into and wouldn't that I would be interested in reading about, and twist it into something that I just can't put down and can't stop reading till I finish the book. Melina is a great author!
Now, first off Finnikin of the Rock was a fantastic read, and so was the other books that Melina has done (Saving Francesca and Jellicoe Road), so I have complete high hopes for this book. But to comment more on this book and the great deal of fantasy, romance, and environment that only Melina is capable of, I would need to read Froi first. However, I am curious on the title of the book, Charyn was the enemy of Lumatere (I believe) from the first book, so what does Quintana have to do with Lumatere. I am interested in finding that out, and knowing me that's answered in Froi which I haven't read, yet.
