captive prince – knitting in the dark

tricksyixi:i will absolutely take them off your hands if you turn out not to like them, i been meaning to get hardcopies forever. I am in the states tho

I will say that you probably wont like one of the main characters until halfway through the second book. It’s on purpose, and it’s necessary, but I would give it at least that long before you decide the series isn’t for you 🙂

Great, I’ll keep your name handy, then. I’ve got a bunch of other books to read first, though, so it won’t be very soon that I know whether I’m keeping them or not.

I certainly plan to read both books through before deciding. I rarely pay more than $5 for a second hand book, but I did this time, and I want my money’s worth, even if I decide they’re not for me. 🙂

So, my curiosity got the better of me. I saw these first in the Smith Family store, then a week later in my local second-hand bookstore, Elizabeth’s (someone either read fast or quickly realised their mistake and traded them in, is my guess), where they’ve been for at least three weeks. So, I gave in. Slave!fic isn’t usually my thing, but people won’t shut up about this series, and though there’s a lot more queer fiction than there used to be, beggars can’t, and all that. If it’s not to my taste, I’m sure there’ll be someone out there willing to take them off my hands. $8AUD each, which isn’t the cheapest, but a lot cheaper than if I wanted to buy new.
