17th century Perigord is a county of sun-drenched villages and dark forests, languid rivers and moonlit lakes. It is a corner of France teeming with spirits, dryads and nymphs, and like everywhere else, witches are burned at the stake. Born with the second sight, young fisherman Jehan wants nothing but to keep his head down, work hard, and stay out of trouble. Which works well enough until a suspicious string of bad luck befalls the village smith and his wife. Their adoptive son Giraud is everybody's dashing darling, who behind his sooty smile and swashbuckling manners has buried a painful connection to the supernatural himself. Fearing that some evil is afoot, Giraud turns to the only other man in town who knows about the hidden world around them - Jehan. Before long, they are embroiled in a quest involving brigands, witches and noble fey, while their friendship and attraction gradually shifts into something deeper. If they manage to survive ancient feuds and everyday prejudice, they might even have a chance to forge a Happily Ever After all of their own... From Rainbow-Award-winning authors Beryll & Osiris Brackhaus, 'The Blacksmith Prince' is an old-fashioned, swoon-worthy historical fantasy romance about tender love in a time when history and fairy-tales were one and the same.… (lisätietoja)

I am not sure how to rate this book. While I enjoyed the adventures, I couldn't connect with the main characters. And some of the secondary characters seemed nothing but a prop, like Jehan's grandmother. All she did was some nagging in the beginning, being sick and silent in the middle and being dead and happy in the very end. There is no adequate impact on the story for the pages spent on her, unfortunately.

There was so much thrown in together: the non-stop adventure and the pending doom of a curse, powerful creatures bent on destroying our MC's, Jehan's and Giraud's sudden coming out of a wizards' closet ....my head spun. I would have loved to see more slow, tender moments between the two men, other than preparation of one meal or another. BTW, they constantly eat in this book - what's up with that? O.o Anyway, I would have loved to know what was going in MC's heads, both of them. Alas, I was mostly denied that pleasure.

Another thing - why France? Could have easily been anywhere. A few French sounding names do not France make.

For the adventure and the world of magic - 4.5 stars. For the romance and deh feels - 2 stars. Final score - 3.25 (
