I received a complimentary copy of the book for an honest review.I found the story quite simple in regards to the previous one of the series, it was a straightforward, uncomplicated and had a more light hearted tone which I think made it charming to me.Josiah was honest and true to his feelings as well as Anne, which I found pretty refreshing since most stories are twice as lenghty as this one and the main characters are constantly denying their true emotions. However, since the beginning of the book they both know each other's feelings and have no qualms speaking between themselves about it.The shadow of the witch hunts still looms throughout the story, though not as heavily as the first book, and plays, even if a minor part, and important factor in some of the choices the characters make.I think that by the end of the story what you truly learn from this story is that guilt has a way to manifest itself, in all kinds of forms, even to hinder the possibility of something beautiful to bloom. It also shows you how humane it is and how humans themselves are the ones that bring a meaning to it, illogical or not, everyone has their own way to cope with it.I also liked the cameo appearances of several characters from the previous book.If you are looking for a story with an uncomplicated and straightforward plot, with some romance, and honest characters this is the  book you should read.
