Brothers of the Wild North Sea by Harper Fox

5.0

Wow. Five years and many, many amazing books later, this is still one of the absolute best historicals out there. I didn’t plan on waiting this long for my reread, but that turned out to be a good thing — I forgot many little details and it almost felt like I was reading it for the first time. I cried over this book, again! For that, it deserves a place on my super special shelf, so I’m adding that one imaginary star to my previous 5-star rating.

It’s hard to describe how this book made me feel. Cai and Fen’s epic love story was absolutely beautiful, but it was a quiet, understated beauty. Reading Brothers of the Wild North Sea was a wonderful experience. It made me cry, smile, and ponder the universe… Seriously. It’s a gem hidden under heaps of mediocre — but more popular — books. If you’re a fan of GOOD historical romance, I can’t recommend this enough.
