Despite growing up in sunny South Africa within walking distance of the wide, sandy beach, K.I.S. was forever carrying a book around and hiding out of sight somewhere, getting lost in the drama on the page. To this day, her idea of perfection is a cup of tea, a comfortable armchair, and a good book (not breaking the bookish, nerdy stereotype at all). To complete this cosy picture, she is also an avid knitter and crocheter, with a definite penchant for cats.

Enjoyable read A good fantasy romance, though not as good as its predecessor, imo. Very much enjoyed the characters, but the plot felt less epic than the last book. Still a highly enjoyable story.
