Review
This was a very interesting book. Not much of a romance, though there is a bit. More a bit of this and a bit of that. But taken all together, really quite good. I still have Aiken's other two to read. Then I will review them all.
My Review:
This book doesn't seem to know what it wants to grow up to become. It probably doesn't want to be a romance novel, since it only has a tiny bit of romance in it. It could be a historical novel, but it's not about any really famous historical figures. I guess we'll have to go with its being a period piece since that's what people seem to be categorizing it as. No one really seems sure, though. Even the book doesn't seem sure. It's a timid piece and the weakest of the three pieces in this series. It's a nice enough little story, but it really didn't excite me very much.
I think that sometime I will have to go back and reread these three books in the correct order and see if doing so makes a difference in how I view them.
I received this eARC from Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am not being compensated in any way. All opinions are fully my own.
