Review: Well Done Mr. Jace!...

I have been reading these prequels from the very beginning (obviously, if I'm reading #11-14), and while I am loving the village (or town?) of Sorrow and all the strange little characters that inhabit it, I also love seeing Mr. Jace grow as a writer. The early prequels, especially the first couple, were pretty choppy in their flow and extremely awkward in their dialogue. This group of prequels though was damn near perfection (aside from some of the editing errors, but I can get over that). Tight, interesting story-line, realistic and mature dialogue, and it feels like (thought this could just be me), that things are getting darker the further we get into the series (which I like).Overall, excellent job, Mr. Jace!  I really like how you lead off these prequels with a short little blurb, and you even explain that you're still learning new things every day, and how you never call yourself a writer but a storyteller. Well, as someone who's read all 15 of these prequels, I can honestly say that your writing has matured quite a bit from when you first started this series. It comes through just how much you care about these characters and all their individual stories, and how much time you've invested in getting things just right. I can't wait to continue with this series and learn all there is to know about each and every one of these fairy-tale creatures. I love the story you've come up with (and it certainly is a big one, I'm trying not to mix up all the characters), and while I wasn't too confident in the beginning that you could pull it off, I see now that I was wrong. This is going to be an amazing series, and I'm really looking forward to it.Now...how about hurrying up and releasing that first novel, eh?  ;)
