"Charm: A Two-Edged Sword" blog post by A.B. Fletcher Ash, the only person who has managed to penetrate his defensive field, possesses charm in abundance. He is impatient, abrupt, arrogant, irascible. ![]() And she also says a whole lot more in a fascinating analysis of what she sees as the main theme here: This book is about charm. Not romantic love but deeper, more meaningful love. ![]() "This isn't a romance, but it is a love story. It's a bit dry in the beginning, but once you push though that and kind of go with the flow of the novel, it's awesome and singularly different from other MM books.
