The Steep & Thorny Way by Cat Winters

4.0

This was a lot different than "Blackbirds" or "Dreaming" and for that I'm very grateful. I enjoy both books, they're very fun, but they're also...they try too hard to create atmosphere and authenticity.

"Steep and Thorny Way," however, feels very authentic, and it's never corny or dramatic the way those other two books are (I know she has a fourth book, I just haven't gotten to it yet). The relationship between Hanalee and Joe is...complicated, but other than that, I had no problems with this book and enjoyed it thoroughly, I highly recommend it.
