Even if I agree with most of the critical reviewers I still can not help liking this little M/M fantasy romance.In all her works Ms Shiloh always manages to convey this heart-warming feeling of enduring, all-encompassing love, a love that makes every kind of life worth living and every pain bearable. It might not be an entirely realistic approach but it works exceptionally well in a romance.While the basic idea behind this story and the general setting are well thought of as always, there are indeed some unwelcome problems in this story.After the first few pages, tight and convincing, plot and pacing get slack. Writing alternates some good paragraphs with many shabby ones. This is quite serious as it makes most of the sex scenes dull and over the top. Characterization is consistent but not as fully rounded as it could.A radical revision with some cuts could be in order.
