Beauty only "cover" deep
#1
I have been reading through the book reviews on this forum, and I notice dissatisfaction often expressed with gothic heroines. So often she can be enchantingly beautiful on the cover, but not much of anything substantial on the inside of the book.
What is it that causes an author to fail at engaging our interest in and our concern with a heroine? Any thoughts?
