About this listen

From the author of The North Wind comes a darkly reimagined tale of forbidden love, inspired by the Greek myth of Hero and Leander and the Scottish ballad Tam Lin.

Brielle of Thornbrook has dedicated her life to the abbey. She spends her days forging iron and her evenings studying the Text, all in preparation of becoming an acolyte. Twenty-one years on this earth and she has never touched a man. And she never will.

But when she finds an injured stranger in the forest, Brielle can’t resist the urge to help him. The encounter leads her to the realm of Under, where the air breathes rot, and the fair folk dance and whisper. Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring.

There are few Brielle can trust in Under, least of all Zephyrus. He is charming, dangerously so, and never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her. As she embarks on a journey through the eerie banks and caves of Under, Brielle finds herself in a perilous situation. For here is where faith and heart collide–and where she risks not only her future… but her life.

I was excited to get this ARC from Netgalley because I had really enjoyed The North Wind, the first book in the series. Unfortunately, this was not as enjoyable.

I'd like to point out that I love the authors writing. She has a lovely style, she evokes a beautiful scene, her characters are well fleshed out and I love her strong female characters. This one just dragged on. The quest in the beginning was fun and I liked the slow build of the romance between the unworldly Brielle and the much flawed Zephyrus. But the later half of the book was just too slow of a pace. And when the characters finally got together, the spicy scene was a bit cringey (in the sand?! So many cracks and crevices to deal with 😬 and the 50 shades of grey straight up was a bit odd).

Anyway, this took me nearly 8 months to read so that tells you how much it grabbed me. I was squeezing it in between other books which isn't a good sign.

A very slow burn
