The story was a little bit boring and the romance didn't keep me engaged. It's not a bad book there's just nothing particularly special about it. I would like to read the next book by Diana Pinguicha to see how she develops her writing style.

This is a very enjoyable bit of historical fantasy. The plot carries you along, the characters are engaging, and the base material (a Portuguese Saint) fresh.

If you like your historical fantasy faithful to the past, you probably won't enjoy this, as the author unapologetically injects modern religious perspective and social/personal values into the story (and does so rather well, I might add). I enjoyed this.

The main flaw of the book is the villain's reveal and the conclusion, neither of which had the drama or tension I anticipated.

5.0

This is the most ace-affirming non-ace romance I have ever read. TAKE CWS SERIOUSLY IT DOES NOT PULL ITS PUNCHES.
