elenajohansen 's review for:
The Scribe
by Elizabeth Hunter
A totally surprising five-star read for me. Why have I been sitting on this book for so long? I put it on my TBR ages ago and bought it last year.
Anyway, talking too much about the plot would involve spoilers more major than I'm willing to include in my review for something I loved this much and want to recommend. Instead, I'll go into the tropes this turns on its head.
Paranormal romance with between a human and a semi-immortal being: totally not creepy this time. Soulmates: believable-ish for once! Magic system: totally not bland, nor overpowered. Insta-lust : NO! Insta-love: HELL NO!
I really just can't fathom how so many trite, overused story pieces are put together in this while feeling fresh and interesting, because I've read SO MANY books where all of these go spectacularly wrong, or add up to the same old trash we've all seen a hundred times.
