Yes, I read The Muse shortly afterwards. I didn’t like it as well.
I’ve heard that isn’t as good, which is disappointing. There’s a new one coming isn’t there, here’s hoping . . .
Yes, I’ve noticed that sometimes an author’s best book is the first one. Not always though. It’s almost as if with some writers they have spent so much imagination on this first book, and then perhaps if it is successful, get too much pressure for a second to imagine it as fully. Hope that makes sense.
It does and it’s a good point!
