I still can't entirely tell how much this book is romanticizing or simply being vivid. Maybe a bit of both. Joshi's writing is evocative, even if that sometimes makes me wonder about accuracy (and also what's up with the whole "flavor of language" thing. But these entirely series is about flavor one way or another so I digress).
It was a good end to the story and, fortunately, not as much time dealing with casual misogyny and men who simply refused. to. get. it. as I had worried at the beginning. I did appreciate how happily everything ended up ever after.
