Just the mention of balls and gowns is making me so giddy with happiness -- and unrelatedly, I'm a fan of Russian boys but then again, who isn't? x) I'm a romantic too so I'd probably feel the same way about the small romance, but the rest of the book sounds awesome enough to compensate for it! <br /><br />Beautiful helpful review, Hilda! I'll make sure to send an email to your future husband to kiss your hand LOL :') <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-61249568895730616402012-06-10T01:17:29.282+07:002012-06-10T01:17:29.282+07:00The Gathering Storm really sounds like a kick-butt...The Gathering Storm really sounds like a kick-butt book! I got rejected on it from NG :'( buuuuuut, I've been seeing some mixed reviews about this book. If you said you wished for more romance, I'll probably do the same! (Seeing how I am a HUGE romance junkie and all.)<br /><br />HOWEVERRRR, I will check out this book! It still seems pretty enticing to my eye. ;D<br /><br />Awesome review, Hilda!

Makes me shiver just thinking about it. I think I might like this one. I'm not that huge a fan of too much romance so this might be perfect for me.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-38076820311381540912012-06-08T01:46:16.524+07:002012-06-08T01:46:16.524+07:00I love history but Ruasian on top of that.

I have a feeling that the main character is pretty kick-butt.<br />The descriptions sounds like something I would love to read about !<br />Little romance can be frustrating at times. I'm so used to having romance in my books that I actually get a little bored if there's no romance ! :O YA books have ruined me ! :P<br />Lovely review, Hilda ! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-2743707683108369252012-06-08T01:01:34.497+07:002012-06-08T01:01:34.497+07:00Awesome review Hilda!

The setting of Russia in 1888, with all the snow sounds enchanting, as well as the perfect setting for a romance =) Ahhh, good ol' Mr. Darcy. Why can't guys in real life be more like that?

It's so much fun to read about such conversations! This is high up my to-read list now, thanks for the wonderful review Hilda! I hadn't heard of this book before but it sounds fab. And "Death would be dancing with us at the ball that night"! I LOVE THAT LINE :DPooja.

So I REALLY glad you enjoy it, at least it can push me to order the paperback version soon :D<br />Thanks for awesome review as well, Hilda! You always rocks!<br /><br />PS : about Sarah Dessen novels, WOW! But I live at East Java, if it doesn't bother you, I'd love too! I really need some contemporary refreshment these days xD<br />I'll send you an e-mail soon to talk about it.

I also have a soft spot for a bit of hand-kissing. Romance set in this sort of time period always makes me swoon. ;) Even though you were expecting a little more from the book overall, it's great to hear you still enjoyed it. I will have to give this a shot!
