GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend it, but it might speak to someone else.

I just didn't care about any of the characters, and disliked the many references to historical people who seemed to be thrown into the story just to add verisimilitude to the era.
It's free via Prime reading, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Just wasn't in the mood to read this right now. It would be worth going back to it when I'm in a different mood.

Every time I read this (and I've read it several times), I keep wanting to be more like Micah -- seeing the positive in the world, and also just seeing the world, rather than ignoring all the beauty around.

Content warning I can really relate to Vanyel being torn between not feeling anything and risking being vulerable.
It's a fairly quick read. Entertaining, but the characters are a bit under-developed. Maybe they get fleshed out in future stories.
Rereading.

I heard Lori on a podcast that I listen to, and decided to read her book.
Recommended in Louisa Master's email newsletter. She said: "This book is the ultimate cheesy romance while simultaneously mocking everything about cheesy romance, and I ADORED it."
