Latest Review: To Paint A Murder by E. J. Gandolfo

What a great, insightful review! It's nice to see that the princess character is not the usual damsel in distress type. I don't read a lot of books in the Fantasy genre, but I am going to consider reading this one.

I haven't read a lot of fantasy books, but it is a genre I think I would like. This book sounds intriguing, thanks to your review.

Absolutely spellbinding Gali :)
I wanted to add this book to my shelves about 3/4 of a paragraph into your review. Even though you had me at hello, I continued reading and was highly pleased by your detailed and passionate review. And thanks for the warning, if I know that bro talk is coming, I won't be so mad when I see it where it does not belong. One has to wonder how in the devil that got In there?!

Thank you for your kind words. I try to do my best as English is my second language. :)

The bro talk was indeed out of place in that setting, but I enjoyed the book nonetheless. :)

That's awesome Gali, way to go. This also inspired me to look up language learning, and I must say your discourse competence is outstanding in this your second language. Now I'm off to post my word of the day :) Again, amazing review.

Gali, why do you keep making the embarrassed face? Did I say something wrong?

This book sounds very intriguing. The story sounds a little like previous ones before it, but at the same time it seems like there is enough done to it that it is still a fresh idea. Will definitely be checking this one out!
