The Stone Maiden by Susan King
This richly detailed historical romance forgets to include fun on the menu as well.

How cute, this one is indeed a bliss to read!
This is an interesting story with all the interesting bits scrapped out.
Oh hello there, non-stop over the top melodrama.
And an eternity in pain.
My goodness, how dull are these two main characters! What happened to the jovial hero I used to know?
The hero is pretty cute, but the rest, especially the heroine, is ugh.
Too safe, too sanitized, too bland.
Ooh, this is easily one of the most impressive serendipitous reads I’ve come across.
Ugh, on the bright side, at least the trilogy of abhorrent nastiness is done with.
