I was skeptical if the pacing could work, but yeah, I think we got just enough of Mahlon to care about his death without slowing down the story.

"You work and I'll worry."
We'll do what's necessary 'cause/Even a miracle needs a hand!
(That's not actually the line, I looked it up, but whatever.)

"She had dreamed of taking home a promise, but she had only a hope."
Okay, that's a nice, poetic line.

Given usual romance novel tropes, at this point it actually feels like Ruth's going to get together with Aborakim.

One chapter in, initial thoughts:
1.) That flashback was strong, but it should have been a prologue instead of interrupting the otherwise placid narrative.
2.) The messaging needs to be more subtle and the dialogue especially is stilted and info-dumpy.
