If you’re interested in positive, measured fantasy, then hurry up and listen to the captivating story about a bride from elsewhere. Everything here unfolds slowly; it’s nothing like the tales where a scene ends before it even begins. Its plot has inner depth with a shadow of intrigue, and the expectation that something unpleasant is inevitably coming in the finale won’t let you get bored.
“An Outsider’s Bride” is a book about an adequate heroine, written with a touch of gentle humor and with a minimal number of “bedroom scenes,” which other works of this genre so often indulge in.
