This is a hard book for me to evaluate and rate.

I liked the basic story and the message of having to deal with your past before you can move on. The characters of Galen and Wira were real to me, even though the story is set in the 1870s. There is a lot of back story, which is neatly woven into the telling of what happens once Galen is let out of prison.

But - I found it very hard to deal with the 'horror' elements of it. I think it was more the detailed descriptions that got to me than the idea of what happened and how it impacted the characters. This was definitely darker than what I usually read, and a lot darker than I'm comfortable with.



Note: This book was picked for me in the m/m romance monthly pick-it-for-me challenge. I doubt I would have bought it based on the blurb, though I am familiar with some of the other authors' work.… (altro)
