Reminds me of Stephen King’s The Mist (particularly the scene at the end of the movie where the family tries to escape the mist in their car). And the water turning into horses is right out of Lord of The Rings Fellowship of the Ring.

Loving it. It’s like what happens after the Swan Princes tale. Though the brothers are rather interchangeable and don’t really differentiate from each other.

Reminds me of Fallen by Lauren Kate in how all the other characters know what’s going on yet they’re all keeping the info away from the heroine and only releasing the info in little dribbles expecting her brain to explode if she got everything al at once. I hate books that do that since it’s making an assumption that the girl is weak and a child who can’t handle more.

Reads like Christian beliefs conflicting with what is right in front of them. No pearly gates so must not be heaven.

Has cutting in it. And eh gads Violet (Red) is blood-thirsty!

Is it written somewhere that all werewolf heroes have to be Scottish. Because in indie books it's more often than not. (in any case, all the Scottish accents floating around in this book seem a bit unwieldy).

Definitely Lord of the Rings. Meredith would be Frodo, Him would be loyal but skeptical Sam, and Gorigast their new guide is Gollum (even talks like him) and the Wald is very reminiscent of entering Mordor.

43 pages in and I have yet to run across and magic. Right now it’s just a boring girl’s finishing school with period setting. And they barely go to any of their classes.

Swells on themes of binding and submission.

Current section reminds me of visiting the elves in Lord of the Rings complete with the gifts before parting. Story really gets hung up in detail (food & clothes) and imagery.

I get it! It’s supposed to be a male version of Princess Diaries!
