If you enjoy romance that asks bigger questions—about time, identity, and what it means to choose a life—this is a satisfying and emotionally layered read that lingers well beyond the final page.

Hannah Heronstone appears to have everything—a devoted husband, a beloved child, and a thriving business built on ancient herbal knowledge.

Steele clearly knows how to weave together complex story lines, and the dialogue throughout the book felt rich and convincing. He also demonstrates a willingness to tackle difficult subject matter without shying away from it, which I respect.

Overall, this is the kind of fantasy you can sink into without emotional whiplash or relentless grimness. The adventure unfolds steadily, the characters are enjoyable company, and the world hints at more stories still waiting to be told.

It’s several days late, and doesn’t even apply to this post, but I wanted to leave a reply where I knew you’d see it. :)
Re: Not writing much–
It’s not EQ, it’s more just that I don’t feel like I have anything to write about lately. I can only gripe about work so much before it starts to get old, tiresome, and boring–you know, the point where people start saying, “At least you HAVE a job!” Plus, with the whole business thing…busy.
I’m hoping to get back into it. I’m driving up to Seattle in a few weeks, going up along 1/101 on the coast, so hopefully there’ll be a sort of travelogue that’ll get me interested and feeling like I have more to write about than just being generally cranky.
Sorry to spam your comments here with a reply, too. :)
Afraid that upon receiving my invitation I snatched their hands off, hope that doesn’t make me a bad person :(
