Jonathan Lovelace’s Reviews > The Balter of Ashton Harper > Status Update

These first few chapters are full of what seem (to adult-me) obtrusive anachronisms (e.g. a country "assembly" dance would not ever have had a "caller") or to trip over my pet peeves (if verse is presented as the lyrics of a "waltz", its rhythm should be at least close to dactylic) ... but I keep reminding myself that at the age the author is *now*, *I* would not have known any better or been able to do any better.
