Hope you are enjoying a happy new year, Laura.įirst of all i want to say that I absolutely love this book!!! It really immersed me into their story and their surroundings… every time that it was from Merlin’s POV i felt the surroundings receding and everything became blurry, but when it was from Ransom’s POV every thing was so sharp! Anyway, i just remembered that throughout most of the book i felt so helpless. :-) I’ll be sure to return and write more when I’ve finished. You can write as slow as you wish if these kind of books are the product. With this being my second read I am taking more time to enjoy all the nuances and I’m just in such awe of your touch! I’m still reading or I’d go on about the rest of the book, but I just put it down on page 100 and came to write this because I just HAD to. How do you manage that? From their awkward opening coversations to the “incident” with the salt and his reaction afterward… How original and almost comical, and yet how heartwrenching for both of them. The otherworldly awkwardness of Merlin is so perfectly expressed, and in such wonderful contrast with the rock solid duke. But seriously, the beginning of this book is just a masterpiece. Writer to writer, I just DESPISE you sometimes because you are so talented. I just started re-reading this and I’m reminded of how the beginning of this book just floors me.
