**disclaimer**I hate romance novels - yet I would recommend this one, esp to Rina <3. After all, Wicca, past lives, and regency meets byzantine kharmic debt. You know you wanna. Why reading one then? The trials of visiting a friend that reads nothing but - and not bringing enough books. I know; it wouldn't have happened if I would give in to the eBook *shudder*At any rate... I idly read the prologue and what is this *perk* - Wicca, past lives, regency meets Byzantine... hmmm. Okay. So I keep reading. It was actually quite a little page turner. Yes, there are some technical issues (by some I mean A LOT) with using Wicca in a fairly modern sense when the word itself certainly didn't exist until well over a century later and the claims to an an ancient lineage of such practices made by Gerald Gardener (the creator of Wicca) were not only debunked thoroughly but even had they not, his ancient lineage traced back to Victorian times when there was a certain fascination for the occult, not the regency period when even tarot as anything more than fancy playing cards would have been a scandal. I can almost forgive this though because the author's treatment of Wicca is fair, honourable, and even largely accurate aside from being vastly out of its timeline. And yes, it suffers the same conventional plot - though with some pleasant twists. I think the past life regressions led to some good opportunity there. The sex seems we're trite and they make me giggle more than anything. It seems all I am doing is criticising, but I found the. Characters finely and fairly drawn. The emotions were complex. More impressive, the writing was actually decent. A good read when you want some light brain candy.
