    1. He has his weak points, but he generally is a very good writer with Lyrna and Vaelin being extremely memorable characters, so yes I did enjoy it heaps and wish we bought the duology as well but we have not. It took me nine months of non stop work to translate Ravens Shadow as the books are so big that we even had to split the third one into two tomes.

    2. I think I remember you translating that one. It did seem like a very big project you took on. I hope it paid well.

  4. Yes! In Tangled the baby is stolen from the king and queen while they are sleeping. She is raised to believe that she has to hide from her people because they want to cut off her hair to keep it for themselves. Meanwhile, it is the woman that she called mother that kidnapped her, raised her to fear her real family, and that really wants her hair.

  5. "Reva, a young woman, born to privilege, stolen from her loving home, raised to kill and blinded by revenge" - Sounds like Tangled to me, but, I do fantasize often so don't mind me! lol

    1. No, it defo isn't Tangled, Reva is a girl who does not really know that she is a princess of Cumbrael while she is being raised by some nasty priest to become an assassin. Later on she becomes the lady governess of Cumbrael after Vaelin teaches her all he knows of fighting. She is lesbi, by the way and likes to shag with her aunt, which was very weird for me in the book.
