For two wonderful weeks I was thrown back in time, into the magic of the Highlands.The Kindling Heart had managed to take me far, far away, into the times and the places I was hardly familiar with. The amazingly detailed, yet flowing descriptions made me feel as if actually visiting the 16th century's Scotland, enveloping me with the wonders of those long-forgotten times, but at the same time not making the reality into too clean or too pretty.The Kindling Heart is a real historical (and not a story with historical setting), wonderfully researched and masterly presented. The romance is developing delightfully slowly, building up as the story unfolds, makes you root for Ruan and Bree, worry together with them at their adventures and misunderstandings. Those two, along with the rest of the characters, were pleasantly real, complex, three-dimensional, real people whom you root for or hate with all your heart.I recommend this read highly and already picked the sequel :)
