Just finished THE RECKLESS OATH WE MADE and loved it! My question: I keep seeing this book classified as a romance, which it doesn't really strike me as being, at least not in the traditional sense. Do you see it as a romance?
Bryn Greenwood
I've been reading romances my whole life, and I don't consider The Reckless Oath We Made a romance, because it doesn't respect most of the genre elements that define a romance novel. Plus, I don't think Zee is even a little bit romantic. ;)
(Now, in a medieval sense, it's definitely a Romance: a quest story featuring a brave knight of mysterious origins, coming to the aid of a lady in distress.)
