barbarian's lady was a fun turn of events from the end of redemption. i liked the balance of a flirty, teasing harrec with a more serious, insecure kate. the external conflict was a call back to some of my favorites in the series. harrec was definitely swoony and every time he called her "my kate" and praised her for being strong + independent i was giggling and kicking my feet. over all, had a fun time reading this.
