I thought George had a pretty good life… I mean, she and her siblings were pretty happy-happy-joy-joy despite having a neglectful mother. Harry, on the other hand… was pretty bland, despite being all emo and brooding.

I just didn’t ‘connect’ with either of them, I guess.

Sexed up PG Wodehouse?! I must have this book.

The Raven Prince was better or easier to connect with because while it was divinely and dryly funny, a lot of the humor came as a response to the absolutely crappy circumstances of the characters. Anna’s poor and her husband was a jerk, and Edward’s a hothead and what happened to his family and his first wife was just tragic and devastated him. So you have these naturally damaged characters who find happiness and work out their issues and that’s good and rewarding for the reader. Everyone in The Leopard Prince was just too happy and cheerful. I really felt for Harry, Bennett and Will, because they were all shaped by that twisted fucker but everyone else was just bebopping along like they escaped from a sexed-up PG Wodehouse novel.

Now I’m intrigued – I love adaptations on fairy-tales, regardless of whether there’s magic or not in them. What is the fairy-tale of the Leopard Prince??

Bam, you are not alone. I too felt like I didn’t really connect with this book in the same way I did with the Raven Prince. It felt like it was missing that tiny something that made the Raven Prince such a standout book.

I blame the sheep.

I’m dying for Iddesleigh’s book.
