I don’t know what it is, but I had a hard time getting into this story. I liked other Tiffany Aching stories, but I had a hard time getting into this one.<\/p>\n

In fact, there were only two passages that I took note of while reading (on my kindle, which makes making note of passages very easy.<\/p>\n
