For this slow-to-start story to work, readers must believe that Willem’s night with Allyson had a profound emotional effect on him and that his feelings for her will be lasting, a hard sell considering his past. In the previous book, heroine Allyson finds her true self as she searches for Willem here, Forman tells Willem’s side of the story, chronicling his psychological growth during the year after their magical time together. Willem de Ruiter, a rootless young man, reconnects with his family and himself as he searches for the 18-year-old girl he deserted after a romantic night in Paris in this companion to Just One Day (2013). ![]()

![]() ![]() Swordheart is the story of two characters. Now you can’t tell me that line hasn’t piqued your curiosity. “Halla of Rutger’s Howe had just inherited a great deal of money and was therefore spending her evening trying to figure out how to kill herself.” The plot, and the voice, of the book is best summarized by its first line: Putting aside the hyperbolic love for a second, the plot of Swordheart is rather simple from the outside. I know this is a world and author I am going to enjoy. Upon finishing the book I closed the back cover, pulled out my laptop, and ordered Swordheart and the three other currently existing books in the same universe in hardback. There was only a single copy in circulation, I had to wait for ages for it to come off hold, and when I finally got it it was one of the most beat up and well-loved copies of a book I have ever seen. ![]() I found my copy of Swordheart at my public library. It is currently published by Argyll Productions, a small targeted publisher, so Swordheart is relatively unknown – which is a crime. It’s a fantasy romantic comedy that positively radiates humor, joy, and character. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon), is an impossible book to dislike. ![]() |
