Yana is likeable. I am a sucker for a person who is sensitive but acts like they're not. But...I think the misdemeanors of the past were not great. This thing liking children is a wow factor. I think it's almost written as an assumption. I think you have to be thorough with that characteristic in the plot to impress me.

if there were people, and throughout her life, there should have been other people to admire. Not necessarily pursued.

In this case, he wisks her away to a CASTLE so there are no other people. if there were people, and throughout her

it's better paced than her other books. But I tend to have the same issues with her books. I am not going to delve into that. I think pacing is the main issue. It's probably hq page count. That's why it's so speedy at the end. I think of her books this is better paced. The speeding up is contextualized better in Yana's life than the previous characters.
