I try to remove things as I realise that there's no way I'll ever actually want to read them.

A masterpiece of craft that shone all the brighter thanks to Richard Armitage's narration. A story so intricately woven deserves an audiobook to match and it got a great one.

In spite of some unresolved tertiary threads, this was a very believable (if a tad melodramatic) YA retelling of Rapunzel.

It's a story of what happens when a string of society burglaries threatens the freedom of a self-made socialite and she turns to a war-scarred gentleman, ending up catching more than just a thief.

Except the inciting incident, little stood in the characters' way and neither had anything truly unrecoverable at stake, making for a rather predictable story.
