Matched) that didn't have enough plot for you... In this one, stuff happens... it just has zero structure.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-6974344816002684282013-03-28T08:48:53.106-04:002013-03-28T08:48:53.106-04:00I had the "cool world wasn't enough"...I had the "cool world wasn't enough" issue with Mystic City. The characterisations were too flat for the mains & the plot... well, I'll just say it lacked.

A great idea will carry me a portion of the way through a novel, and I'll even overlook gaps in logic as long as the plot is great, but if the plot doesn't show, then I'll get annoyed.
