I did still enjoy the book nonetheless. :)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-9166110230222765042015-08-14T03:48:02.288+02:002015-08-14T03:48:02.288+02:00I was read to read this for the tiny horse alone, ...I was read to read this for the tiny horse alone, but ugh, that pacing doesn't sound too fun.

I'm not sure, maybe it's a debut novel? Pacing can take many years to master, if ever... :\ A pity, because it's got many ingredients that should make it a great success.
