Those poor hapless bookstore employees, I just kept badgering them about getting this book, I was looking forward to it that much. And I read it right away, all those... months... ago. Yeah, I’ve been ignoring the blog side of things over here.
After Ash’s mother’s death, her father has married again, to a woman Ash despises. And for good reason. As soon as her father dies, her new stepmother and stepsisters start to treat her like a servant and trample on the last remnants of her mother in the customs of the house. When they leave for the city to snare husbands for the daughters, they take Ash along as a lady’s maid. But Ash meets the King’s Huntress, and for the first time since her mom died feels wanted again...
( Sometimes they brewed love potions for girls who hadn’t met their lovers by Midsummer’s Eve, and sometimes the love potions even worked. )
The one thing I noticed, in a book full of lesbian women, there weren’t any gay men. Of course, this can be forgiven, as there were almost no men at all. It’s definitely not a book to give to a young man, gay or straight. Young girls on the other hand... *grin* Well I enjoyed it, anyway.
