So I got this in my SpearCraft Book Box and I'm not going to read it.

I have a quirk with books and I can't get past this one thing, ever.

I hate books in the present tense. I read the first several pages which were cutesy background setting information from "stage managers past" and was super interested and then.

Present Tense. UGH.

It's always so breathless and immediate and other than the Hunger Games, LITERALLY NOTHING should be in the present tense except maybe poetry. UGH.

Also if someone wants this book we can probably come to an accord.
