review 1: Is it a fair statement to say that I'm only giving this four stars because it is so short? Hmmmm.... Well, I think the main issue I had was that because it was so short, the romance felt like it progressed too quickly. Perhaps if the characters' reactions to each other very early in the story had been stronger, the attraction apparent from first sight, then the way it unfolds would have worked better for me. On the whole though, I liked the story, particularly since I'd just read Butterfly Swords and this is a telling of a story brought up in that book.
review 2: I read this because I read Butterfly Swords, once upon a time, on someone's recommendation. The story of Mei Lin sounded interesting, then, so I picked it up -- and I hear that the idea of setting roma... morences in Tang dynasty China is a new one.Unfortunately, romances aren't really my thing, and the lack of depth to the characters/relationships in this short story doesn't help. A pretty significant portion of the story is just sex, and it also involves the trope of a strong, capable woman needing to be saved by a man.There's a lot that could've been done with this set-up, but the result wasn't satisfying at all for me. If you're a romance novel reader, it'd probably be more of interest to you. less
