Oh my my my….It’s stunning, innit?ĪRC provided by Netgalley and Edelweiss for an honest review (and I HONESTLY LOVED this book)īuy it now A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn Yep, you can bet your bottom dollar I shall be waiting for the next installment of this series…. I seriously wish I could pick up the next book right this second and start it. Thank you for building up such a strong attraction and tension between the two wonderful lead characters and for not spoiling it by having one or the other *change* who they are in an instant just to satisfy some lusty readers (no offense to any lusty readers out there). Thank you for not making he take over and save the day. Thank you thank you thank you, Deanna Raybourn for not making Stoker into someone who just gives into his desires. Now let’s get to the good bits….oh wait….those WERE good bits! hahahahaha….seriously, those bits DID in fact bother me at the start….but then I realised that they were only bothering me because I KNEW people would find fault with them….then towards the end, I decided to say screw it…I LOVE THIS BOOK….if you don’t….well you’re the nutter…not me!Īnd finally…let’s discuss Stoker….OH MY GOSH….I think I’m in love. All I can say is, HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Have you actually read any history books? Have you not seen what depths that people will go to for power? What lengths they will go to in order to obtain power? Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction…and although this is indeed fiction, the outrageousness of the entire scenario makes it very believable for me. I realise that many people will say it’s unbelievable.
The other bit that readers might object to….the mystery bit solved. At no time is she anything other than what she proclaims to be….
At no time does she succumb to being a victim. At no time does Miss Stillwater give up her independence. I find it refreshing for an author to show us a heroine that is strong and independent. But dangnabbit, I loved her anyway! Besides, if everyone has different personalities, why can’t someone have one exactly like Miss Stillwater? Independent, promiscuous, and outspoken…all of that in a time where ladies were better known to be quiet and subservient.
That she’s too arrogant, or silly, or doesn’t know half of what she *thinks* she does. Okay, the dirty bits out of the way first….I imagine there will be more than a few people who claim the heroine, Veronica Stillwater is annoying. What can I say? I absolutely loved this book I adored it! Enjoyed every word of it.
