![]() ![]() Both are tiresome tendencies I've noticed in modern YA (see also: watering down what should be a single meaty book to create a trilogy) and it's a relief to read books that are simply the length they need to be in order to tell the story. The first thing I noticed is that it's a very short book compared to its predecessor, and I like that Cooper doesn't seem to have felt the need either to make the books of uniform length or to make each longer than the last seemingly for length's sake, or because demand for the book puts pressure on the edting process. In the comments to the earlier post, arcadiaego pointed out that Greenwitch feels like an attempt to counterbalance the sexism of the two previous books. ![]()
