A review by insearchof_wonder_
The Bride of Ivy Green by Julie Klassen

4.0

This entire series moved at a very gentle pace, sometimes a little too gentle. But at the same time, each book was filled with many varied story threads, all woven together seamlessly. There's drama, intrigue, and excitement, but it's always very genteel and elegant, just like the era in which it is set.

If I had any complaint, it would be that I would really like to have a little more insight into the individuals' thoughts and emotions. The books are written with a sense of detachment that keeps you at a distance from the characters. I suppose even that helps to set the scene, but there were times I would loved a more intimate look into certain characters' lives.
