Heart's Blood

Juliet Marillier

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Whistling Tor is a place of secrets, a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress of a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the district in tones of revulsion and bitterness. A curse lies over Anluan's family and his people; those woods hold a perilous force whose every whisper threatens doom. For young scribe Caitrin it is a safe haven. This place where nobody else is prepared to go seems exactly what she needs, for Caitrin is fleeing her own demons. As Caitrin comes to know Anluan and his home in more depth she realizes that it is only through her love and determination that the curse can be broken and Anluan and his people set free.

    This book was fine. I read it (listened to it) for a book club, and it wasn't a book I otherwise would have chosen for myself. It's well written with well developed characters. But when I read romance, I just want romance, not external plot. I know what I'm about, son. So the first 2/3 of the book I liked--it was setting up external plot to an extent, but felt more focused on the relationship growing between the main heroine and the other characters, including her love interest. Once the plot showed up, my interest waned, and given this is a long book, I started skipping around the end. Definitely satisfying on the romance front. Wouldn't read again, but might recommend if I knew this genre was someone else's preference.
