Four Calling Bards par Patricia Kiyono
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I received a copy from LibaryThing for an honest review. The story was very sweet but predictable as we could see from the beginning whom she would pick. I think it would have been nice to have more of an expansion of the characters as they seemed a bit simplified. Overall, a nice read and story.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I found this an interesting and enjoyable read, and it kept my interest until I had finished it in an afternoon. The characters were not overdone, and they were a likeable cast.

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.A charming novella with a social conscience. I enjoyed the setting and the characters, but the plot seemed a bit thin. I felt that the pacing was a bit of a challenge; the story would be more balanced if expanded to a full novel. The ending felt a bit rushed to this reader. Flaws aside, an enjoyable read. I will look for more works by the author in the future.
