Wonderful story and written with such emotion! This would have been a great read even without the romance – though the romance and problems associated with it are unique and believable. The author has a remarkable talent for putting words together and making the reader experience the tragedy, sorrow and discomfort. And I don’t really enjoy crying while reading!
crazy, stupid, totally unbelievable. The only reason I finished it is to see what I had missed along the line … this was a completely ridiculous premise/concept unless it had been labled Fantasy. sorry I wasted my time
A unique story starting on a little known part of history. The author put a lot of thought into weaving the characters together. I enjoyed it very much.
