Review: Repetative bodice-ripper
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 03 2, 2014
Too many characters all stopping in the midst of impending invasions to have long conversations.  Most discriptive passages repeat the same information multiple times, particularly 'crystalline blue.'  The dialog slips from 1830's language to modern phrases that jar the ear.  Improbable, and remarkably similar romantic scenes.
