Okay, technically V’laine is a character not a book, but V was a rare letter on my shelves, so I had to get creative!Loved: Mac and Barrons!! ‘Nuff said.
Learned: I loved the voice in this series. Mac doesn’t have a clue about the paranormal world she’s stumbled into, but she’s plucky, stubborn and refuses to yield to stronger immortal forces who, by all rights, should be able to squash her.
Moning affects just the right tone, and her witty exchanges between the two MCs is something I’d love to emulate. Sometimes a conversation goes on for pages with each character speaking only a handful of words per line, but it’s always silver-tongued, interesting and essential to driving the plot.
The art of writing conversations is a definite skill. I rewrite conversations over and over before they sound organic and believable. Sounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteI like a good bit of sparkling dialogue. This sounds good.
ReplyDeleteV'laine is a lovely name. Dialogue isn't my strong point, so I'm always eager to read a good example of driving plot using character dialogue and interactions.
