I finished Mariana (ns)

I liked it but it wasn't on my list of favorites of hers.

  • This is the only one I've read by her. I'll have to pick up The Winter Sea and see what I think. I liked Marianna, quite a bit, but I didn't rush to pick up another by her.

  • I think that The Rose Garden is my favorite, but I still really liked Marianna. I think I would have absolutely loved it if we got a little more of the story instead of it ending like it did.  I still thought it was wonderful, though.

  • So far, I think The Winter Sea and The Firebird are my absolute favorites by her.  I'll put this above The Rose Garden.

    Me too.  I have The Splendour Falls but haven't started it yet.  Has anyone read that one?  I don't think I've heard it talked about much around here...

    I bought it on Audible, but I haven't listened to it yet.  Let me know when you are reading and I will try to start it too!

    I think if @dmlk413 liked it I probably will too.

  • It was fairly different from her other books.  I still loved it, but I can see why people may not like this one as much.  

    @sweetrhythms I was thinking of picking Splendour Falls up soon.  I may just join you and @Lauren620 if the timing is right :)

  • @aggiebug @sweetrhythms Great!  I might start a little early because I have been reading at a snail's pace lately.

  • I didn't love The Splendour Falls.  I have a feeling if I had read it vs listening (sorry @Lauren620, the narrator sounded like a 60 year old woman) I would have like it a lot better.

    I will probably try listening first, but if I can't get into the audio I will check the library.  That's such a shame because I have loved all of the other audiobooks of hers so far.

    ITA - the narrator was not a good fit for the book.
