Status Updates From Robinsheugh

Argh. It's not that this isn't well done (it is). It's just bleak and very, very thorough.

In another mood, I might enjoy it. I'm clearly in the wrong one at present. Pace of life is currently running much faster on my end than Elizabeth's.

I know a person (Kadi), who was bored to tears by Tom's Midnight Garden. Kadi - do not touch Robinsheugh with a barge pole!!! XD
Wow. It's plodding. Dunlop leaves nothing to chance - very thoroughly thought-through. Not at all 'rushed'. And the font on this edition is small.. pages turn slowly. :S
Really hoping it picks up a bit - still a lot of book left.
It might be that I'm just not in the mood for it.

Still pretty great. Halfway now, but the problems to be resolved have not yet. It's hinted that that they will be, or include, being trapped in the past, and losing one's original identity. But those are not worries quite yet.

How Elizabeth, and the other Elizabeth, and Kate will relate, is fascinating. The ruined relation between Elizabeth 1 and Kate. The great parallel of Elizabeth 2 with Kate.

Oh my god. From right away, basically, "oh my god."
