Sazo was probably my favourite character in the book though. He was genuinely protective of her without being overbearing.

He was even understanding as to why she kept things from him.

He was calm and reasonable when she finally told him everything. And yet, he never pressured her to tell him. He was drawn to Rose from the beginning but also knew that she was keeping things from him. She was also inventive and proactive and didn’t sit around waiting for stuff to happen.ĭav Jallan wasn’t bad either. There were things about her that were done well, for instance, I liked that she was cautious even with her rescuers. Throughout the book, there was also never a sense of true danger, I was never worried about the two main characters which lowered the stakes considerably. It was jarring because as far as introductions though, it’s a bumpy method. It was okay, but it didn’t even come close to blowing me away.įor one, the beginning was very abrupt, so much so that I checked whether it was indeed the first page of the first chapter and once that was done, then I checked to make sure that I was reading the first book (should have probably done that first though) So yes, the beginning was strange, it picked up right in the middle of an escape. I’ve enjoyed the historical fiction novels by Michelle Diener and decided to give this a go.
