I am officially closing this thread. I just haven't been into reviews lately, other than poetry. If you really want a review, you can PM me, but I might turn it down. I just can't get the words out, no matter how many times I start it. Sorry.
"Blah blah blah. You feel trapped in your life. Here is what I am hearing: happiness isn't worth any inconvenience."
I tell the neophyte: Write a million words–the absolute best you can write, then throw it all away and bravely turn your back on what you have written. At that point, you’re ready to begin. — David Eddings
