One response to “Timeless Romance: Midsummer Night

  1. Maria

    I gave this four stars because I think if you enjoy fantasy then you’d probably say it was at least that. For my own personal enjoyment it was probably a bit less because I’m not really into fantasy. I do read some on occasion but not often. However, I like the Timeless series of books so I thought I’d give it a go.

    The most fun element of the book for me is the idea of celebrating the summer solstice. My mother was Swedish so I grew up with some Midsommar (Swedish spelling) traditions or at least was aware of them. And while I believe the origins of the celebrations were probably pagan rituals etc and may have been more closely aligned with some of the stuff in this book I found any mention of Midsommar in the book lit up my eyes in memory of my mother. For my mother it was more dancing and singing around the May pole rather than there being some belief in magic etc… I don’t recall ever doing it but I do remember the idea of collecting wild flowers to put under my pillow to dream of my true love. Okay, so maybe I did it once.

    There was generally some element of magic involved in each of the stories. One had mind reading, one had a ghost and another had time travel. I liked most of the main characters. If I had to pick a favorite of the stories I’d have to say Dancing with the Moon by Julie Wright. And the thing I liked best about it is that whenever the ghost needed to do something he ended up where he needed to be without really trying. And when he knew he needed to get help he ended up on the other side of the kingdom with Grace because she was the one who would be willing to help him. I think it said a lot about her character.

    Sex: No. A character had previously miscarried a baby conceived out of wedlock.
    Language: I think just once?
    Violence: Some.
