Jane Fletcher (1) (1956–)

It's been a few years since I've read any Fletcher and I think my expectations were a bit too high. Don't get me wrong, I liked the two main characters and thought the story was interesting and fun but there was so much history, description, and general world building that I didn't get to spend as much time engrossed in the action as I wanted. If this is the first book in a new series, then I can see the need for all of that but if this is a stand alone, then I think it was too much.

I think fans of Jane Fletcher's novels will enjoy The Shewstone.

Like many other reviews have already said, this book has a bit of everything: science fiction, romance, history, and fun. I've read a few other books by the author and enjoyed them but this one has a very different feel to me. I got into the story a lot more once we were on the island.

The romance was light but the action and adventure were heavy, which is much more my cup of tea.

I definitely recommend this one to any lesfic readers who are also big fans of historical and/or science fiction novels.
