NOTE: I received this book to review from Netgalley.
Finally! I'm done with this book, and I can tell you, it feels like a huge weight was just taken off my shoulders. Now, you may think this means I didn't like the story or something. But then, you may notice my rating, and you might get slightly confused.
Truth is, I really LOVED this book. The only thing about it that sort of exhausted me was the count of its pages. 480 pages!!!!!!! To be honest, not a single one of them could be taken out, but still, that number sort of weigh a whole ton.
Anyway. So, when I began reading I had no idea "Ghost Crown" was book 2 in a series. It took me entire 20 pages to realize that. And then it took me another 50 pages to realize that I didn't actually need to know much about book 1, because the author did his job well. What I mean is that Mr. Gates placed the right reminders at the right spots, so as a new reader such as myself won't get confused at who is who and what had happened and why these people were together or not. You get the idea.
Now, with a hand on my heart I can say (or write) that the story was... (more)
I'm like you too, I get super impatient with long books! I have one sitting on my pile and it's like 800p so good luck with that!

Yeah, well that number totally freaked me out. Perhaps because it was a book and author I wasn't familiar about. Usually I don't have a problem with authors that I know. Like G.R.R.Martin... I have read all 5 of his books and the majority of them are well over 1000 pages. *shrug* I won't be that reluctant to read The Tracks 3 when it comes out though. It was too good to procrastinate with ;)
