Have any of you read Megan Lindholm’s Cloven Hooves? To be honest, I had high expectation since it came from one of my favorite author (well, technically she used a different pen name, but still), but it only managed to anger me to no end. I’m not sure if this was a woman empowerment piece gone horribly, terribly wrong, or I simply didn’t have the knowledge to understand the real message this tale tried to convey. Someone, help, please??
I’ve read Megan Lindholm’s collection of short stories before this, and found it interesting enough. Sure, her stories tend to be more surreal and a little bit unnerving than her works as Robin Hobb, but I thought it was okay. But apparently my first try at her novel turned into a nightmarish experience. I’m sure I wrote a super long rant for this particular book the moment I finished it.
I haven’t read this but at first glance I thought the title says “Colleen Hoover” which is another author’s name, and so ended up thinking that this cover just has 3 names instead. Lolols I haven’t finished my coffee yet…

I haven’t read this but I tend not to like the stuff written as Megan Lindholm as much as the stuff written as Robin Hobb. I don’t know why.
