Wow. There are really no words sufficient to describe how this book made me feel. I LOVED it. Absolutely loved it. I loved how Fortier entwined present and past and made it seamless. I loved getting both stories. It awakened a long-dormant fascination with the Amazons (now I'm ashamed that I let it slide) and made me determined to learn everything I could about them.
I loved Diana and Nick (oh, how I loved Nick!!). I loved how their relationship progressed. I loved that there was no insta-love going on, and really, once Diana got to know Nick, there was no love triangle either.
I can only imagine the amount of research that goes into a book like this, so many kudos to Anne Fortier for getting it so right. This is only Anne's second English-language book, but it's books like this and [b:Juliet|6718608|Juliet|Anne Fortier|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1366399299s/6718608.jpg|6914700] that make her an auto-buy author for me.
