They have a really complex program for it, which includes prizes and review ratings and stuff.<br /><br />This book, however, is from AMG Publishers. They have a review system as well, but it's very simple, and there is no ranking/rating stuff. <br /><br />However, I'll be sure to let you know when I review another WaterBrook book, though!

I mean, mistakes happen but while that doesn't mean that we should poke our fingers in the faults of other people/writers/artists, it doesn't mean that the mistakes should go on ignored either. People can learn to better themselves from their mistakes if the mistakes are pointed out in a kindly and helpful manner, which is what I believe you did in your cons section. :D I agreed with pretty much everything you said.<br /><br />I also found that it wasn't just that the characters were all the same... but they didn't really have any faults. Out of the five sisters, I think Dantress was the most realistic, but she still had a lot of aspects to her that didn't seem natural, and you are right... the other four sisters just seem to blend into one person in my head... they all look sort of alike, and I've gotten confused before.<br /><br />Specter and Albino are awesome! Wouldn't mind seeing some more of the Shepheard either. :D<br /><br />Very good review.
