While Stashe, Mrs Stock and Titania get *some* stage time, it's not nearly what Aidan or Andrew get, and there aren't any scenes (that I recall) from their points of view, either. That said, I would never call a DWJ book unfriendly to female characters! It was just something to mention in passing in the case of this book. Hope that helps you understand where I was coming from, and thanks so much for the comment!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-82930572310146695542014-07-30T15:45:40.798-04:002014-07-30T15:45:40.798-04:00No female leads?

I love that she does atmosphere and character so well. Like, I remember falling head over heels in friendship for Sophie Hatter. I imagine that I'd love the characters of Enchanted Glass as well.<br /><br />Also? DWJ totally gets the shaft when it comes to covers.

I want to replace almost all of the US DWJs I've bought with better UK covers. ;)<br />As for this story, it's one of my favorites and I loved it more on second read ... I hope you do too!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-84526677996939178952012-09-06T21:21:53.438-04:002012-09-06T21:21:53.438-04:00Liviania: DWJ divides readers a bit.

My turning point was <i>The Merlin Conspiracy</i>, and I also loved <i>Howl's Moving Castle</i>. Didn't love the Dalemark books or the Chrestomanci books even half as much, and was a little iffy about <i>Fire and Hemlock</i>, which I just read. But this one, and those two I mentioned earlier? Cozy and wonderful, and rereads for always.Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-7261248011073922862012-09-06T20:00:20.416-04:002012-09-06T20:00:20.416-04:00I should read more DWJ.
