Have you read the novella that leads in to The Bone Season? If yes, does it reflect on how TBS is much?

[nemophilist]

I have it sitting in my Kindle app, glaring at me with disappointment for not having the time to read it. BUT I SHALL GET ON IT SOON. :p

[xfirefly9x]

Ah true. I read the novella earlier this year. Interesting story. The writing style didn't really grab me, though, so I've been a bit hesitant giving TBS a go.

[xfirefly9x]

Good, but very slow and long. My first King novel was Cell, which I enjoyed (more than It so far, tbh).

I always wanted to try The Shining or Carrie, but I haven't had the guts yet, haha.

Writing missing moments is such fun!

What sort of original fiction do you write? :)
