I definitely enjoyed A Single Shard. When I picked it up from the library, one of the people in my knitting circle (which is held at the library) told me that it was excellent and I was surprised to find that she was right. It was the clear winner in my opinion.
I had high hopes for Everything on a Waffle but I am afraid the plot did not lure me in. It wasn't horrible, so I gave it three stars, but I'm afraid it was a case of "judging a book by its title" and then being disappointed.
