Following an attempt to kill her, librarian Cassie Lewis leaves the only life she's ever known and flees west into the mist-shrouded borderlands that lie between England and Wales. There, the sleepy, hillside village of Bourn's Edge provides a safe haven for her to regroup and decide what to do next, and reclusive local artist Tarian Brangwen provides an intriguing and welcome distraction. But Cassie soon makes a startling discovery that turns her world upside down. For deep in the heart of the adjacent Bourn Forest lies an entrance to Faerie, and the enigmatic Tarian is much more than she appears . . . Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

This is not so much a novel as it is three separate stories that immediately follow after one another, and the summary above only really describes the first. I really enjoy series of short stories that fall into an overarching plotline in general, but I found myself wishing the author had fleshed out any of the ones in the story. The first and third felt like they could have easily been turned into a whole novel of their own, and it would have helped with the general shallow feeling of the story.
In a romance, of course, the most important thing is the characters. And Tarian and Cassie never really feel fleshed out to me, unfortunately. Cassie felt a lot like your basic empty character for the reader to project into, honestly, which is really not my thing. She's sort of generically good, tends to get in over her head due to her insistence on saying the right thing, and was desperately lonely before Tarian. Tarian feels a little closer to well-fleshed out character, but she had a tendency to be the plot device. I did like Queen Mab, and would happily read a story about her romances.
That said, I liked it. It almost but not quite hit me in the domestic fiction spot - cozy fiction, maybe? But would I have cared if fantasy lesbian romances were slightly more common? Probably not, alas. ( )
