Anyone read this? I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. Firstly, I've never seen a book so riddled with horrible adverbs, and now I've read up to chapter four, I can't see myself reading further.

This is just my opinion of course, but I just wanted to express it because I've heard so many good things about Penny Vincenzi. Perhaps I should be a bit more patient with it? Perhaps I need to read another book of hers?

Any thoughts AWers?

Haven't read it, but I find myself wondering what a horrible adverb is. I don't usually adverbs them unless it's an awkward coinage or there is more than one in a sentence.

She's big on qualifiers, I'll give her that. Everything's jolly rather quite a little sort of a bit...
