With the release of The Harvest King, NYT’s bestselling author Paula Quinn proves yet again that she is a master of beautiful reads, able to touch souls and squeeze hearts regardless of the direction of her magic-infused pen. Prolific and versatile, she gives readers stories to love in genres, settings, and eras that range from medieval Scotland, modern-day England, enchanted realms, and more. The fictitious landscape of Predaria in The Harvest King is the sweeping backdrop, and heart, of her foray into Christian fantasy/sci-fi romance. Upon opening this book, readers will enter a world of passion, honor, and love as only this author can write. Everything readers love about Quinn romance awaits, from one of the most compelling heroes I’ve ever read, to a heroine who is not just tested, but takes you on a journey that wrings all the feels out of you. Sympathetic, courageous, and proud, she’ll have you cheering her on during a thrilling – and at times terrifying – adventure that leads to an incredibly glorious and triumphant ending. In fact, I’d dare anyone to read the end without their eyes leaking hot, joyous tears.
As always, Quinn’s secondary characters are equally three-dimensional and swoon-worthy. One character, Jonas, really stole my heart. He’s the hero’s friend and a champion warrior, and, well, I’ll just say he’s so hot oven mitts might be a good thing whenever he steps onto the page. Quinn’s villainous characters also feel real, just as the fantastical setting makes you believe you could find it on a map and perhaps visit someday. That’s not possible, but there is a wonderful colored map at the beginning of the book, depicting Predaria with all its enchantment and dangers, a bonus treat as you read along and venture deeper into its storied bounds.
To say I loved The Harvest King is an understatement. The book has something for everyone and is steeped in emotion, highly original, and bursting with adventure. Page-scorching passion also abounds. Quinn’s love scenes always sizzle and Caleb and Willow enjoy some wonderful ones. And while love is a powerful and shining thread throughout, there’s also darkness and soul-wrenching parts that will have you reading faster to see how the hero/heroine can ever get out of some of the things that befall them. I don’t give spoilers when reviewing, so I’m not going to detail –what- those dangers and scary times are. I’ll just say that their inclusion gives the story tremendous depth and heart and makes it a book you’ll finish with a great, satisfied sigh and the above-mentioned happy tears.
I’d also like to assure readers who may not generally read Christian romance, that The Harvest King is not heavy on religion and does not have a ‘preachy tone’ at all. Yes, Quinn’s faith is a shining thread throughout the story, but she weaves that element into the tale with such grace and skill that a reader of any persuasion (or none) can read and love this amazing book.
If you’re a Paula Quinn fan, you’ll definitely want to add The Harvest King to your keeper shelf. If you haven’t yet read a Quinn romance (something that would astound me), grab this book, read it, and see why she is so well-loved by legions of romance readers. She’s the high bar in the world of romance and this story may well be her very best yet.
Bottom line: Get cozy, dim the lights, slip away to Predaria, and prepare to fall in love.
