I liked the story, but it's not realistic for that period of time. She's a weapons expert and he assists her without feeling inferior as a man?? bit odd.
Even if it fits in the story, I find him a bit over romantic and to much a fan of 'love talk' for that period of time.
She intends to let his clan suffer for the wrong they've done to hers but during their journey to the castle it's she who suffers (he hurts her back, and let her walk a whole day and night with the injury while he's on a horse) and she doesn't mind, but she feels a whore when they get romantically involved. strange. Unfortunately he never finds out she's a woman, she has to tell him, but first she dresses as a woman. The revelation was bit disappointed, I had expected it differently. There were a few exciting climaxes in the story I really liked. The beginning was the best part.
I really feel bad for her sister from the beginning till the end.… (meer)
