That hero, John, is still the blandest thing in this story, and that’s quite the shame.
This is actually a pretty fun story. Only, watch out for some elements that can rub readers off the wrong way.
The author has an intriguing couple here, but she puts them through a pretty mundane and uninteresting plot.
Every romance story is staged by the author, yes, but this one feels especially staged and artificial.
This is a readable story, but a bit too precious for me. The dead horse of a plot kind of spoils the fun too.
The Stud is pretty tame by today’s standards, but it can still make for a pretty decent time killer if you are really that bored.
Freedom fighters! Ships! Sword fights! Well, scratch that, toss them away from a more typical story instead. Sigh.
Brace yourself: a Modern story with no Madonna/whore complex, no ridiculous accusations of betrayal, no stalking, just… romance.
What’s a fascinating story doing, being buried under tedious grind-like number crunching and routine hack-slash tedium?
