Review of In the Heart of the Linden Wood
[Following is a volunteer review of "In the Heart of the Linden Wood" by Ekta R. Garg.]
A poignant story of love, loss, and redemption. Queen Lily's death while giving birth to an heir breaks King Christopher's world apart. Blamed for her death, without warrant, is the healer Geraldine, who is subsequently exiled but soon discovers that the kingdom's magical Linden wood is dying. The magic was connected to the Keeper, whose heart had been broken into pieces.
It is then that Geraldine, Christopher, and a few others set out to search for and reunite the heart stones to save the wood and its kingdom. Their journey is an emotional one: highs and lows, deep reflection, and struggling to find hope where none seems possible. There is a ring of love, loss, duty, and redemption that resounds throughout this touching narrative theme. The book was exceptionally well edited and error-free.
I like how emotional In the Heart of the Linden Wood by Ekta R. Garg portrays their relationships, especially that of King Christopher and Queen Lily. Their love story makes it sweet and, at the same time, sad. It adds so much emotion to the story. Christopher continued loving Lily, helping him through all his future actions and decisions, pretty touching in so doing. It proves that love can give strength and motivation against the toughest challenge. The struggles and triumphs deeply moved me and it made me reflect on the importance of patience and empathy in leadership.
Nothing was there that I ever disliked in this book because the story has all the ingredients and is very interesting. The characters are fleshed out, the plot is engrossing, and the themes are deep. The slower parts of the narrative further develop tension and even more realization of the characters. While the pacing is at times very slow, it is rich for this story. The magical and the emotional make this read one that captures from beginning to end. The strengths of this book far outweigh any weaknesses, making it an actually enjoyable read.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because it is this kind of emotional depth within relationships that abides in the story, most especially between King Christopher and Queen Lily, that gives it a touching and powerful layer. With well-developed characters and their plot engaging, this really was an interesting read from beginning to end, which is why I give it a perfect rating. I will always recommend this book to any reader who loves a good romance, even tearjerkers; there is much emotional depth and a lesson or two on patience and empathy in leadership.
