![]() Clearly the narrator would have been better suited to reading Thomas Hardy or Mark Twain or one of the other classics. However, the narration was a little jarring. I wanted a steamy, paranormal, fast-paced adventure/sex/love story, and that's what you get. Lots of "verily" or "hereunto" and just random historical accent words that good historical novelists wouldn't dream of using - but chances are, you're not reading the Black Dagger books because of the historical detail either. ![]() Whenever JR Ward takes her story back in time, the writing is stilted - Ward's just not in her element trying to make language or description seem historically accurate. I wasn't, and I wasn't disappointed by the plot. If you're looking for another steamy Black Dagger Brotherhood book, in the tradition of the other Black Dagger Brotherhood books, this more or less fits the bill - better than some, worse than some - but chances are, you're not buying this to be surprised. Consistent writing, somewhat jarring narration. ![]()
