She felt herself respond to it, a flush of heat rising inside her” reads one typical passage, a vibrant description of Ash’s attraction after pages and pages of dialogue between Ash and Kaisa that have all the wit and parry of the best intellectual seduction. “She raised her eyes, and there was a warmth, an invitation, in Kaisa’s face that she had not expected. Believable tension builds between the two women, on physical and emotional levels.
