By possession by madeline hunter5/21/2023 That being said, By Possession is a very good read, and Madeline Hunter addresses the troublesome inequality issue with thoughtfulness and insight.Īddis de Valence has spent the last six years in the Baltics after being captured during a crusade. Fundamentally, master/servant romances make me very uncomfortable, usually because of the inherent inequalities between the hero (who always seems to have the upper hand in these scenarios) and the heroine. Though her status as a serf is in question, she spends much of the book as his bondwoman. By Possession is a medieval romance about a knight and a woman who was born a serf, bound to his lands. I know an author is really talented when she makes me enjoy a book with a premise that I basically dislike. So, even though this wasn’t a DIK for Blythe, it, thus far, is for me. (This review first ran in August of 2000.) I’m a bit astonished Blythe only gave it a B+–although I haven’t finished the novel yet and the pacing may, by its end, cause me to think the book isn’t quite a DIK. Great idea! I am currently reading Hunter’s By Possession and it is SO. Several of you have asked we bring back our DIKlassic reviews.
