"The latest on best-seller Hamilton's series featuring Meredith Gentry, the fairie princess/PI in the Unseelie Court, reads sorta like fan fiction."




"Newbies will struggle to digest the plot; In exchange for the lives of captured enemies, Gentry bets her evil Aunt Adais, Queen of Air and Darknesss, that she can bring back to life their long-dead gardens--and produce an heir-- by boinking the guards, washed-up jester Abeloec and rough 'n' ready Mistral. But everyone will enjoy the marathon, 40-page opening sex scene. While we bow to proud Merry's stamina, we'd love to see her lead men (or goblins) into battle with more than just her sex appeal." C+

Seems pretty damn insulting to fanfiction to me. But look it's not just us who are 'total haters, omg we suck'

Most people who aren't into fanfiction are exposed to it at places like ffnet...so, I'd say that she'd be pretty accurate in comparing it to a LKH novel.

::shamelessly posts at ffnet solely for reviews::

Also, I think we should send this reviewer a fruit basket.

*snicker* she's out of her depth if we send french cheeses...i don't think the fangirl to french dictionary covers those.

Naw aw, man. Then she may think the names for the cheeses are "OMFGCOOL" and name her characters after them! =D! Can you see? Dark, brooding, long haired vampire "Fromage"

It's why Im hoping that she'll get into Italians soon.

..Wait.

....Oh GOD What did I just write? D=

Or worse.

You getting into her.

Vag Badger has a whole new meaning, now.

That just makes me shudder and snicker at the same time.
