I would like if Once Upon a Time had an Expanded Universe of books like Star Wars. That would be enjoyable. I just hope this book is more interesting than the Red book. I barely got through that. (It felt less like fantasy and more like realistic fiction.) Hmmm, I never read the Red book. I tend to like realistic fiction to a degree, but then again ASOIAF (the series that Game of Thrones originates from) sort of kills everything that comes close to realistic fantasy. GRRM is one of the greatest authors of our time, who probably wrote the best fantasy novel after Lord of the Rings, so as much as I didn't like wendy something's writing, I don't think it's fair to compare her with GRRM, not many writers can stand against GRRM. Of course not, but one tends to sort of go on ride when reading and the most recent series I'm on is ASOIAF and several of the points he makes in interviews just sort of leaves nearly any other fantasy lacking a tad. (So, I'll be reading that up to this book releases. XD)

Did some research and she does teen/tween stuff and from the moderate reviews (yeah, I look at reviews ignoring the 1/2 and 4/5 stars ratings and go around the average). She seems to have great writing (via reviewers on Amazon), but the plot was a tad dry. So, it's likely she has some restriction whether it's her style or someone overseeing the project, or something like that.
