rachelini 's review for:

The Shadow and the Star by Laura Kinsale
4.0

I've mostly stopped reading older romance novels, because they're maybe best read in the time when they're written. But this is a massive favourite that comes up over and over again, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I can see why it's still a favourite - the story is sweeping and well thought out, it has a rags to riches heroine, and a very slow burn romance (although I didn't really feel the development of the hero's feelings, other than burning lust).
