  2. Frost Moon is no longer free.

    I like a good mix of both plot and characters. It has to be interesting on both accounts. If you have ridiculous characters, you don't care about the plot. If you have a stupid plot, the characters won't mesh... so it's a fine line of having a combination of both.

  6. Re: Bookie Brunch...both are meaningful but my books much have a stellar plot or fabu characters at a minimum. Certainly, I enjoy a plotless book if it's a great character study but I'm not sure I can enjoy a plot heavy book with thin characters.

  7. Per the Bookie Brunch Q:
    I have to be honest here and admit I'm a sucker for epic/awesome plots above all else. Especially the descriptions/detail ...
    I want to really be able to feel I am THERE.

    While characterization is important, generally I don't have much patience for lengthy, in-depth psychological analyzation, etc.

    A little of that can go a longgggggg way.
