Within the Hollow Heart
by Melissa Wright
adventurous
lighthearted
mysterious
fast-paced
I really enjoyed this book. There wasn't a whole lot of fantasy until the second half, but because it's so short, you don't really notice. It is very historical, very quick paced, and very cozy. I was glad to not have 5+ hours of internal dialogue and conflict. Refreshing.
I also loved the narrator and all of the voices she did for the characters! It didn't bother me at all that it was a woman narrator even though the POV was male, because she did very well at portraying each character differently.
I have not read book 1, as it stated they are standalone, but I do feel like if I'd have read it, I would have had a lot more understanding of some of the characters. It was ok without having read it- I wasn't confused by it - but you can tell there is a connection with the overlapping characters that you are missing if you don't read book 1.
