I can't believe it's the same person who wrote The Sunne in Splendour. I'll finish for completeness, but...<br /><br />Ryan, for me The Terror had so many bum notes it tainted the whole for me. I wasn't mad keen on the resolution either but I'd have forgiven it that if the voice had been truer. (As an aside, why didn't someone British read it in proof? Most of what jarred could so easily have been fixed).<br /><br />Nevets, I thought you'd like Ellory (although I've not yet read Candlemoth myself). Glad to put you on to some good stuff!Tim Strettonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598897603628943741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21671128.post-30701790484356255312010-01-07T20:56:51.956+00:002010-01-07T20:56:51.956+00:00Utterly off-topic, but I just finished Candlemoth,...Utterly off-topic, but I just finished Candlemoth, per your recommendation to check out RJ Ellory, and it was not only an anjoyable read byt was, as you suggested, helpful as a learning experience as well. I'll be getting my hands on more of his stuff. Thanks much for the recommendation!C. N.
