Too much overlap? Exact same set of events so too much is probably an understatement. ;-) Each to their own but I loved Zoe's Tale. I

I don't think it would have been nearly as effective as one book. You'd instant retelling of the same event from different perspectives and I think that would just come off clumsy.

Could also be that I'm partial to Zoe as to me she sounds like a So-Cal teenager

I think it would have required a different structure if in 1 book, but the narrative would have been better. - TWuG Aug 18, 11:57 1
- I'm with you on the possible disappointment if I was reading them real time. I found the series late and read all of them in like two months - JD Aug 18, 12:20
