![]() ![]() However, here is additionally where the novel again fell short. I was grateful for the plot twist there and enjoyed it immensely, especially considering the way the novel ended. It was incredibly unique and one I did not see coming in the slightest. There was great potential to be found in the storyline, and in fact the only thing that saved this rating from a one or two star for me was the identity of the person attempting to assassinate Aurelia. Their romance was somewhat difficult to get on board with, perhaps led on by the slight degree of cliche and the dryness I found particularly in Robert’s character. ![]() The main characters Aurelia and Robert came off as incredibly awkward. Unfortunately, I found that Aurelia fell incredibly short of the impressive quality I found in Osterlund’s other book. After my initial introduction to Anne Osterlund’s brilliant writing abilities with the publication of her novel, Academy 7, I was rather eager to read her other, earlier novels. As far as I’m concerned, this book could have been brilliant. ![]()
