Before buying most of my books these days, I always take a look at the reviews and then get a sample to read on my kindle. Reviews are of course highly subjective and you never know what is motivating any one reviewer, positive or negative or if maybe their taste is simply different than yours. Regardless, because I know the type of book I like, I put off looking at this book for a long time, before actually trying it. As soon as I started reading the sample, I couldn't believe I had not checked it out sooner. I thought this book was wonderful. A complex storyline with a solid mystery, charismatic characters who drew me in, and even a touch of the arcane. I like a good love story, and part of why I never looked too closely here was that several reviews mentioned the romance not being a strong point. I found that I completely disagree. There were not one, but two beautiful stories of love here for the main character. One of love lost, but another of love found. The author wrote them in such a way, that both relationships were incredibly strong and legitimate, and yet so completely different from one another that there was no competition or detraction from either relationship if compared to the other. In my experience that is a rare thing. This book is a keeper, and I highly recommend it.
