Review of Escape From Darkness
Escape From Darkness by Ana Ingham is a collection of three love stories that have Germany as the common thread. The first novella is called "By the Lake," the second one is called "Delayed Tenderness," and the third one is called "The German Lover." The stories occur at three different points in German history. They involve the strange love connection that different characters encounter with each other.
The stories are tender and light. Although they happen during interesting times in German history, they are all just human stories about desire. The first novella was my favourite. It was such an unusual story. Thomas and Carroll were the main characters of the tale. Their connection wasn't as powerful or as sexually charged as I wanted it to be, but something was charming about their connection. I loved how unpredictable their story was.
The second novella was also interesting. I would say that it was even more strange than the first one. It was just not as charming, but I enjoyed how unexpected the romance was. The unnamed narrator of the second novel was also the main character, and she was bold and intriguing.
All in all, these stories were good. They weren't the most exciting love stories I have ever read, but they were written very well. The stories could have been edgier, and their plot could have been stronger, but I feel that the author did a great job. I think that I will rate the collection of stories 4 out of 5 stars. I reached that rating for the simple reason that I didn't think the stories were exciting enough. The author made it a point to set the stories in Germany during significant times, and I feel that the setting could have been incorporated more smartly into the story to make it exciting.
Escape From Darkness is best suited for female readers who enjoy love stories. The stories have nothing else going on for them except for the romantic interactions between the characters.
