![]() ![]() The third and final book came out last year, and I bought it then but held off on reading it because I wanted to reread the other two books first. But I kept reading and ended up loving it and thinking it was so much better than the first book. ![]() I had forgotten some details, and the beginning of the book felt so slow that I almost just put it aside. Then nearly a year later, I read the second book. I found the writing style so awkward and annoying, and I had to drag myself through the first half of it (though it picked up after that). I read the first book in 2012, and I was a little disappointed with it. I do really like some of their songs, though.) I was drawn to the book for different reasons: mostly the gorgeous cover and how it was sometimes referred to as an "American Narnia." I've tried to get into their music several times, since I like the basic style of it and the album covers and most of the lyrics.but I'm just not a huge fan of Meloy's voice most of the time. ![]() (Incidentally, I don't know much about The Decemberists. Most of the reviews for it were written by fans of the band The Decemberists, because the author, Colin Meloy, happens to be their lead singer and songwriter. Several years ago, I stumbled across a book called Wildwood. ![]()
