Impossible (Impossible, #1)

I was surprised at how much I liked Impossible. It's a little bit of a fantasy very much grounded in reality, a book that deals with the practicalities of certain things with dignity and honesty without shying away from the difficulty of reality.

It's also delightfully romantic. The characters are all both wonderful and flawed which makes them real, even the secondary characters. The bad guy is awful and worth despising. The story proceeds along at a good pace which kept me engaged the whole way through. There were things that were obvious throughout which made me a little frustrated that I could see what was going on when the characters couldn't. But none of them were stupid about it, it's just hard sometimes to have an omniscient narrator create such a clear picture the characters can't see.

[a:Nancy Werlin|63983|Nancy Werlin|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1213649469p2/63983.jpg]'s prose isn't as complicated or fanciful as I normally am drawn to. But sometimes it's nice to read something that's clear and straightforward that still creates good characters in an incredible adventure.
