When I was in my early and mid-teens, I collected these books (Sunfire Series) with my mother, so I have the entire collection, which my daughters are fighting over inheriting as I speak. As a series, they are clean, historically educational (most of the time), and light and fun reading.
This specific book, I have just read again, as my 10-year old read it on one of her recent sick days and wanted me to read it too. The writing is not great, as this author is not one of the stronger More...

Unlike most of the Sunfires, or even some of Schurfranz's titles in particular, there is nothing to recommend "Merrie." Often it's a matter of grasping at straws to find positives in her books, but there's always been something. "Merrie", however, is a loser on many fronts. Schurfranz takes many tropes and cliches from the popular bodice rippers of the time (mid-80s), but because of the YA constrictions here, the story ends up becoming an endless cycle of decisions & misunder

There sure were a lot of books in this series. I am pretty sure that I did not read them all, as there are covers that don't ring a bell at all, while the covers that I do recognize, well, they set off alarms of recognition in my brain.
I guess after a while one wouldn't have to read any more of these, as one would have figured out the formula: young women living in historical times much choose between two young men who want to marry her; romance ensues. That's one of the reasons I do More...

(See my review of Amanda if you care what I think about the series as a whole.)
Dear Vivian Schurfranz, I don't know if you are still writing romances, but if you are, kindly remove this phrase from your repertoire: "I've never met anyone like you, (fill in the name of heroine here)." Thank you.
In terms of the Great Sunfire Re-Read, this one was not a Re-, and though I had always wanted to read it because the plot sounded interesting, I had already grown wary of our wayward author befo More...

I think this might be the poorest written Sunfire and wow, is that saying a lot. At least one sentence per paragraph had to end in an exlamation point, and let's not even discuss how often a chapter would start with, "Seven weeks later, these people who hated these other people now had great respect for each other! But look at THESE people now!" I'm still shaky on the timeline because it jumped ahead so much.

I've loved the Sunfire romances all through my teenage years. Even now they are fun little quick reads that I enjoy. I picked this up at DI for 50 cents...love getting deals on books.
