Its not until the 4rth book where I run into characters who seem illogical. She is a woman though... that may explain it. Very real characters who as it is said are not black and white.

In the end though they are lying in a pool of blood, leaving tear-stains on the pages of your book. Is that too emo(tional) for you? Well perhaps its not as bad as all that.

That is, as long as you have not read too many reviews bragging it up....more
