He's white. Short dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a short beard. His face is a little narrow. I only saw a few pictures, but it looks like he might be on the taller side with a trim build. Probably in his thirties or forties.

Romance is one of the few genres I don't read, but he does have a nice voice.

I think it's the descriptions. I got an audio book of the first volume and it seemed like the descriptions went on for ages, but not a whole lot happened. Normally I love fantasy, but so far I can't warm up to this series.

David Copperfield. I read it in one day when I was a kid and had nothing else to do. Bleak House was a slog too, but it had some nice turns of phrase that stuck with me.

And at the risk of insulting a classic, One Hundred Years of Solitude. I get that it's supposed to be a critique on society and inspired by the author's life. I just found it bleak.

Have you read Outlander? I think she does time travel well and it's interesting, at least if you're interested in that kind of historical fiction.

Are there shallots or garlic in it? Looks really good. Bet it'd be good with a crusty layer of panko on top too.
