Wildwood Dancing
by Juliet Marillier
I love Juliet Marillier so, so much, and was pretty much an uncommunicative blob the second I started reading one of the books from her Sevenwaters Trilogy. But while this was a lovely exploration of the Romanian mythology that gets overshadowed by the Dracula legends, I found myself fed up with the dialogue and the characters, groaning over conversations that sounded stilted and unnatural, and wanting to shake various characters for multiple reasons, multiple times. Maybe YA is just not her thing? Perhaps it does not allow the same depths of prose, due to page counts, and what is marketable, etc. *sigh*
