The Dangerous Kingdom of Love by Neil Blackmore
3.0
This was a weird book. But I (mostly) liked reading it!
It took me some time to get into it but after reading the first twenty percent I started to enjoy it. At first I thought that I might dnf it since the writing style has some characteristics I usually don't like - like for example being addressed as a reader by the narrator but after having read it I think the style fit really well to the story and the main character. I didn't go into this expecting a historically accurate story and I probably wouldn't recommend it to someone who looks for historically accurate books about real people. (I am actually not sure whom I would recommend it to.) But I still (or it might have because of the, maybe deliberate, anachronisms) had a fun reading and was fascinated by the main character and his development throughout the story.
3.5 stars
