I am utterly amazed that a book this poor could get such rave reviews from everyone.

The plot is so unbelievable that you don't know what to do with yourself. This is the second time that I have tried to read this book because they said that her second book is the sequel to the blockbuster debut. So, hey, maybe I was wrong in my first impression, maybe there really is something worth while. Boy was I wrong.

First, where are the editors? Her haphazard usage of commas makes the read so stilted that you don't even know what you just read. When the English teacher taught the class that it is better to leave commas out then to use them too much she must have been gone.

Generic names never work in fantasy, yet she uses them without regard. Her horse is called "The Horse," the enemy is called "The Gray One." Come on, can we be any more unoriginal?

The characters have no development and whenever the main character gets in trouble something happens to save her. An eagle shows up to eat little baby spiders that are attacking her (this is such a horrible scene, nothing worth reading), or a voice in her head tells her what to do, or a ghost takes over her body to fight for her, or the Berry Sisters magically appear, or a waystation for Green Riders appears out of nowhere for her to rest in.

It seems that Britain had no clue what she wanted to write on and so just started throwing things in, thinking that it would make sense. Can we use any more of the cliched images? Dirty man wants to rape woman as tobacco drips from his mouth onto her clothes. Let's try and focus on originality or, at the least, re-write it so that it is interesting!
