I agree that this book would disappoint many Romance readers. It's not steamy enough. But I still enjoyed it.CommMayo wrote: ↑30 Sep 2018, 13:06I think that the average romance reader would pick up this book and be disappointed. I love romance and fantasy, but I don't think that this book fits the bill for romance as the relationship never got the foundation it deserved and the "romantic" scenes were absolutely cringe-worthy.bb587 wrote: ↑30 Sep 2018, 11:25 I think this would end up in the romance section of a bookstore. The first subcategory in my mind is fantasy. The last category in my mind would be historical fiction. I like that a lot of the facts of life are actually accurate, but I think the main theme of the book is forbidden love.

- Latest Review: Apollo's Raven by Linnea Tanner
I agree completely that this is really an adult book set in a historical time period rather than historical fiction with fantasy. I did not expect the novel to be what it was.Linnea Tanner wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 13:43 I've categorized Apollo's Raven as an adult historical fiction with strong elements of fantasy and romance. Right now, it is categorized as Historical Fiction with the sub-category of fantasy (Historical Fantasy). Does this category adequately describe the book? Or should it be categorized as Fantasy with strong elements of history, romance, or myths and legends?

The book definitely crosses genres, but if I had to pick just one, I would put it in the fantasy genre. While there is certainly romance in the book, I don't see it as the main theme.Linnea Tanner wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 13:43 I've categorized Apollo's Raven as an adult historical fiction with strong elements of fantasy and romance.
