The Wild Swans by K.M. Shea
3.0
Le sigh- we have a love triangle. The resolution to the love triangle felt like a cop out
Also I might be being petty here- but you just wouldn't be able to knit with fresh nettle stems- they're not flexible enough. And somebody give the girl a set of gloves.
I also found it a bit confusing- I have read [b:Beauty and the Beast|19447511|Beauty and the Beast (Timeless Fairy Tales, #1)|K.M. Shea|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387045421s/19447511.jpg|27534886] but in places it felt like there should have been another book before, a prequel or something- I felt like I was expected to know more about the countries and the world than I did

and having the choose your own ending meant the author had to leave both options open until the end- I didn't really see or feel that Elise was getting that much closer to either of them. The saddest thing thought was that at the end of Rune's ending (yes I read both) Elise says she loves Rune and is really happy but that being accepted into her family is as important to her- so she lived through years of misery so that she could stay open as a marriage prospect. She clearly didn't need either of them (as they were apparently interchangeable) so it just seemed so sad that most her life was made more miserable for that.Also I might be being petty here- but you just wouldn't be able to knit with fresh nettle stems- they're not flexible enough.
