Oh, look, a cockroach."

Can we do that thing where you give me a subject and I list TOP 5? Please? Because I'm bored, and needs should definitely be met. As long as it doesn't require ointments the next day.

Well, I read TBS first, so I can't disprove your theory. But I really cannot imagine myself like HatC better. There are very specific things about TBS that just . . . hit my kinks. It's a perfect fantasy adventure for me. HatC is alright, but it just doesn't do for me what TBS does.

What I'm having trouble with in her later novels is how convoluted the plots are. The writing is more sophisticated in some ways, but I have not like the characters and stories as much. I don't think she's as adept at building complex worlds and ideas as she is at simple straightforward story-telling. Imo. But then again, I love Beauty and pretty much hate Rose Daughter.
