And it might even sway me to liking the book a little more (like The Mortal Instruments first book, for instance). If I can't feel the place, I'm not going to like the setting, regardless of where it is. The same applies to the adverse.Donna (Bites)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12585421704517898076noreply@blogger.com
