The added element of telepathy makes this book interest me. The clash between classes and the time period in particular. I'm normally not a fan of historical fiction but when it isn't a straight up romance or centered on war, I'm more open to giving it a chance.

Latest Review: Iron Crossed by Renata Rose and Phil Rose

Post by Sahar Majid »

I'm glad that the characters seem to have a lot of depth, and are even realistic to a degree. I was particularly impressed when you said that Nichola isn't exactly black or white, and that's very important for me as a reader to see that the author understands human nature. I do wish there was more of a mention of strong female characters but that's okay.

Thank you for the wonderful review!
