Yet another book I waited so long for that ended up not being all that great. Ian Mortimer is a historian, so when I saw he was writing a novel, I was intrigued.
Well, the result was just ok. Two brothers end up catching the plague and get to live their last 6 days, 99 years in the future each day. The novel normally focuses on the changing customs, clothing, and it's deeply focused on religion. It was alright with me, but it's probably not what people thought they'd be getting into while reading this. I would deem this whole book as a sort of religious mediation. Overall, just kind of meh and a let down for me.

Just a heads up. I plan to post my first video blog about my current work in progress novel, The Wrath of Borgen. This first installment should give my viewers insight into the inspiration for my story, and the struggles of which I have had to face along the way of these three years of which I have been working on writing the first draft. It will also explain why I am so close to completion, but have not yet managed to cross that threshold.
Please stay tuned, and I hope you all enjoy this little window of insight of which I will open up to share my creative process for my long awaited first novel.

I have a soft spot for bounty hunters and space. Put those two together and you have a recipe for magic. This novel was exactly up my alley and I loved everything about it. After reading Katherine McIntyre’s Stolen Petals, I was jonesing for another story similar. This was a perfect match. With a fierce female lead and a deliciously devious male lead, the couple burned up the pages. It’s not erotic however, having a plot interesting enough to keep my attention when they weren’t setting the book on fire.

Overall, the novel reads quick, but it is rather enjoyable. If you like strong female bounty hunters and the men who love them, I recommend it.

It's very rare that I ever find a novel I cannot finish. While there is nothing wrong with Thomas's writing, this novel was so boring with no appeal, that I could not even force myself to continue reading it. The couple had no chemistry, and I often found myself annoyed with them for making the situation much hard than it really was.

The only thing I can really say about it is how I annoyed I am with the people's reaction to Verity's food. I can understand if it is good and people notice and act like such. I cannot justify every single person acting as if her food was a life changing experience just by sipping it.
