Query: Confusing... but impressive

G. L. Giles V2:B4 was my first encounter with her world. I know the city of Charleston and surrounding areas well and it is readily apparent she does too. Her ideas are fresh and unique to a sometimes stale genre. However, the illustrations were unnecessary, and a little juevenile, the story jumped around a fair bit, and the characters lacked the depth one hopes for. In her defense, this is a prequel and one should not necessarily know the characters well, especially if they missed her first novel. Too, vignettes are not designed to give an entire story, just a short piece, or in her world, a small taste.The narrative threw me a bit, but it is simply a matter of stlye and taste. G. L. Giles knows what she wants to say and the message, though occasionally garbled does come through.
