The Beekeeper's Son by Kelly Irvin

5.0

i have a huge interest in armish life for some reason.
so of course i enjoy reading about it!

but this book was one of the best i have read in a long time.

the writing is very well done, i really enjoyed how this was a romance but not in the typical sense and it wasn’t the making ich’s of the book, it happened -as it does in real life- on the side of everything else and i loved that!

i really enjoyed his this was mostly about life changes - big and small ones- choices and unforeseen ale events that make up life.
it has love, lost, family and moving on as it’s focal points in the plot and all of them were very well done.

it was wonderful to see a character on this book hat was heavily scared from an accident but was not treated as if he was someone to be avoided or horrendous simply because he had a noticeable face. i also lived that he author included the struggles this character had with himself and his appearance and how he expected people to react to him and his looks.

now i have no clue if this book is accurate in the armish life or traditions and what have you.
to me it sounded/seemed true enough and that’s enough for me.

there where a few moments in the book where i felt the author added a little bit too much unnecessary and even a hit unrealistic drama to it but at the most it lastet a couple of pages and that it was back to the much more realistic and nicely done writing and plot.

i really enjoyed this and am very excited to pick up the next book in the series to not only see where that story is going to take the next sister but also see more of abigail and what is going to happen with her as well as how deborah and phineas are getting along!

if you want a nicely written romance that has great plot and characters, both developing throughout the book - highly recommend this!
