Wow, this actually didn't suck!



Sometimes palm-sized adult novels make me want to hurl myself bodily into the ocean, but, wow, this was a pleasant surprise.

To me, the weirdest thing about reading this book was how it did not start off strong at all. Cliched historical fiction dialogue, a vanilla main character, and two incredibly lame supernatural objects made me think I was going to suffer through this novel (because I bought it with, like, actual human dollars, and it's the principle of the thing), then sell it to Half Priced Books and never think of it again.
But then! Boom! It just inexplicably got better.
The three intertwining plot lines were way more fluid and logical than they had any right to be, and the author managed to get me to care about all three of the romances. Unheard of.

If the synopsis interests you even slightly, I'd recommend giving this book a try.
