Rest assured, this book has romance a-plenty. It's also got some fantastic--and cinematic (watch out Hunger Games!)--action scenes, some truly complex and interesting characters (including the two leads), wonderful attention to detail, and some great writing to top it all off. As someone who studied Medieval French and Bretagne literature, history, and myths in college, I can say this book really gets it right down to the spelling of the names. Yes, liberties have been taken as this is a fiction/supernatural novel, but it's all very artfully woven. So aside from some of the more obvious areas (young, hot, martial arts-trained novitiates, anyone?), it can be hard to know when the fiction stops and the non-fiction starts.Italiahttp://somuch2thank4.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069253193673846283.post-21428518042903198092012-02-09T16:36:55.472-05:002012-02-09T16:36:55.472-05:00I am totally looking forward to reading Grave Merc...I am totally looking forward to reading Grave Mercy!
