You might not like my villain in Spirit of the Lake because the only scenes he's in he isn't nice. Because I never get into his POV. You only see him through the eyes of Wewukiye and Dove. <br /><br />And I agree with not having to dust books in a Kindle!Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-12850199953640133342011-06-20T10:37:26.608-05:002011-06-20T10:37:26.608-05:00Well-rounded characters (and secondary characters)...Well-rounded characters (and secondary characters) make or break books for me. Stereotypes drive me nuts! Especially bad guys without one redeeming trait. No one is all bad, right?<br /><br />Your characters sound fascinating, and I'm sure all of the research you've done shines through this book.<br /><br />I see my TBR pile getting taller.
