Haha, no, I've actually been meaning to read Uprooted and Spinning Silver for ages and still haven't got around to either of them (thanks, college!). I have heard a couple people say they're a bit slower to get into, so I'll probably wait until one of my breaks when I'll have a little more patience (and time, especially) for stories that take some time to develop. I think half my frustration with this book--though frustration isn't exactly the right word--came from just not being in the right mood/headspace for it at all.
Oh, she did? I don't go on Twitter much, so that completely passed me by, but it's a little funny since I've seen SO MANY people compare the main romance in Deathless to Reylo. I didn't get far enough along to tell if the comparison was super-accurate or not, but from the first few chapters at least, those people have a point. And, I don't know... obviously people have the right to ship or not ship any pairing they want, but at the same time, why make a huge deal about criticizing a pairing you don't like, especially if it mostly comes down to personal taste? Like, they're plenty of pairings I don't ship/like all that much, but I know they're people out there who do, so why bother them just because the pairing doesn't work for me personally? It just seems unnecessarily mean-spirited.
