4.5/5 I loved this! Her writing was so lovely and had the perfect winter atmosphere.

A quote:
“I’ll think of you the night of the party, Judith, when I rush through the forest and tear open a stag’s throat with a single bite. I’ll remember how the red of the ribbon matches the red of its blood.”

“You’re a madman,” she said, freeing herself of his grasp and adjusting the shawl. “Go, chase the moon, tell it your lies.”

I originally grabbed The Lover as a free monthly prime read. It was a quick, short, fantasy love story that was just a fun Sunday afternoon read. Ultimately, it didn't leave a lasting impression because it was so short, but if you are in the mood for a quick story this could be one for you!
