Thank you for sharing your thoughts on “A Marriage of Lions” by Elizabeth Chadwick. It’s wonderful to read that you appreciated the well-developed characters, as this is indeed one of Chadwick’s strengths as an author. Your sentiments about the ending are valid and a testament to your engagement with the story. Endings can be quite a divisive topic among readers, can’t they? Some prefer everything tied up neatly, while others enjoy an open-ended or unexpected conclusion. It’s clear that you felt there was room for something different or more satisfying in this case. Considering your feelings about the character development, did you have a favorite character or a particular character arc that you found most compelling? And if you were to reimagine the ending, how would you have liked the story to conclude? Thanks again for your review. Your reflections help make our book club a richer and more diverse community of readers!
