]]> Comment on Book Review - Blood Of Elves by Kris http://www.robertgrant.co.uk/?p=38#comment-233 Kris Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:49:49 +0000 http://www.robertgrant.co.uk/?p=38#comment-233 Let me start by commenting on this review.. 'Oh'. I would like the author to read the saga through and than write about it. True the first book was/is a bit chaotic. But the author is Polish, and doesnt have to fall under English set writing customs as :throwing everything into tome 1 and than cutting off the coupons. Let the action roll, let the characters be seen in different situations, than and only than will you be able to say - this character is flat, or this character is well portrayed etc. Just wait for Regis...! If you give the book a chance, the universe of Sapkowski will pull you in... Having said that I'd like to add one more thing. The best of Sapek's work is 'Narrenturm' and two other books that follow it. Written a while after the Witcher, more mature, and compelling! Kris Let me start by commenting on this review..

"blood of elves" is the same case. think about this book in that way for a while instead of writing bubbles.

Which reviewers do pass the John Ashburn test? I'd be keen to know where you think the bar is set. As for my writing? Right now you may well be correct, but when I have a piece that's finished to a standard that's worth showing I'll post it. If you tell me where your writing is posted, maybe we can compare?
