'' | ''The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on [http://www.succubus.net/blog/2015/02/27/a-review-of-the-amber-cross-by-meilin-miranda/ February 27, 2015]'' | ||
The world around Fanny is one which she does not quite fit into. Over time she sees things that others do not and understands more than she is given credit for. When the truth around her is revealed, Fanny comes to see that she is more and in doing so battles dark forces around her in the name of the one she loves. | |||
This is really a story about Fanny with all of the other characters, events and moments spinning around her. And really, as a whole, the story is so much better for that. Many of the minor characters are supposed to be “more” than Fanny, but honestly I found them to be paper thin and really not worth much in the end. Fanny is a wonderfully full character and as the story unfolds it is even better that who she is comes to the fore. | |||
There is a Succubus, and an Incubi in this work who are the ones manipulating those around them and taking from them. What I found really amazing was how the actions of the Crawfords are told in a way that is very erotic and seductive but does not seem out of place with the rest of the work. The moments read true and not as if they were shoehorned into the work to add some spice to it. While it is quite clear they are Succubus and Incubus, they don’t actually appear with horns or tails, though their more evil aspects when they are seen by Fanny ring true and match well with how they had been described previously. | |||
The work is a full and complete story from beginning to end, all of the plots tied up nicely and an ending that was exactly right as well. The writing is solid, well cared for, and quite enjoyable. I never could read Jane Austin and I did pause before reading this work… and I am so very glad that I did so. The author’s voice is delicious and perfect for the setting and tones. | |||
Four out of of five pitchforks. | |||
I really never could quite manage to read Jane Austin for various reasons… This work was a joy and in that, more than anything, I thank the author for making that possible. | |||
