review 1: Again I really enjoyed the characters created by J.A. Pitts. They are alive. They catch the reader up in their stories, and you care about them (both love and hate :). They are inspiring, and good characters go a long way to making a good book. This book is in some ways the opposite of the first in the series. The first book tied up almost all the story lines and this second in the series leaves almost all the story lines with loose ends. The characters are better developed in this second book and there is considerably more (not too much) detail, however it is clearly a bridge book and doesn't stand alone as well as I would have liked. The story lines, and there were several, were very engaging despite their open endings, and it will definitely make you feel pressur... moreed to buy the next book in the series, so from a marketing standpoint this book is outstanding :)
review 2: Honeyed Words had potential and then it landed flat on its face in the mud. What I wanted was the story that was described on the back cover, and I received that for at least the first chapter. From there, everything was random events that left me question the purpose/story. At 130 pages in, I’m still actually waiting for the story to begin. At this point, I won’t be reading any further until I have time to slug through the other ¾ of the book. The writing is well done. The world that was created is clear and precise. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out before in this book and first book, you can tell this was a man writing from a woman’s perspective. Which I can get around, but the lack of direction for the story made it hard for me to care about the characters and what they were doing. less
