![]() ![]() I’ll try to explain this in the reviews below). ![]() It was perfect for the first and third books and fell a bit flat in the second and fourth ones. (With all that said, I also think that this style and formula didn’t work for each book in this series equally well. There are no major dramas or misunderstandings between MCs and no external obstacles, just personal reasons and motivations that make sense. Everyone is flawed and has believable reasons to be who they are, which makes each character deeply human and interesting in a subtle way. And I think she also makes you see this, not just tell you something is the case. ![]() In this way, she portrays what makes these people themselves without being overly dramatic (even though there are truly traumatic events), because when the characters are not being dramatic about their troubles, you just can’t too. She writes about seemingly insignificant details or bits about her MCs lives and inner worlds, things that even characters themselves take lightly (but do not deny) to be able to cope (like when Robert from the Duchess War was telling a heartbreaking memory from his childhood as a funny story, which was definitely not). Maybe she can be described as an author of small things she gives seemingly minor details about her characters like simple gestures or a certain choice of words, which actually reveals how people see themselves or the world in a subtle way. ![]() My first impression of Courtney Milan was that her books are nothing like the HR books I’ve read so far. ![]()
