My mouth is hanging open in awe. Sharon Clare is an author to be reckoned with. To have handled this story, this game, this moment, keeping us all completely engaged, believing and wanting, right to the very end, is an absolute masterstroke of writing. If anyone challenged me with the premise - a game, a simple board game - I would've scoffed and said it couldn't be done, or that it would be boring, and if I had put my hand to the task, I would have been right. Not so Ms. Clare, and we may all thank our lucky stars for it. The story itself is beautiful, even timeless, and the skill that brought it forth, inspiring. I ADORED her first book, Love of Her Lives. It made me laugh out loud many times, and kept me enthralled to the very end, and here again, she proves her worth. While the backstory premise is akin to the first book, Rhapsody follows a completely different, although equally and hugely satisfying path. Am I waxing rhapsodic? You betcha! Very well done!I purchased this book online and have given this review freely and without monetary compensation.
