In error, I read that book. Ms. Harkness should be burned at the stake for creating such a travesty! Or at least burned a little with a cigarette (as Dana recommends).
Simply put, the book sucketh whole and entire and the author - well, if we can't burn her, maybe we can make her walk the plank. the entire story is rancid and puke-provoking and puerile and unforgivingly bull-shitty.
Also, I didn't like it.
