REVIEW

I never wished for two characters to get together so much!  Adalindis is an adorable tale! Told from his/ her perspectives, we meet Adalindis or Lindy an unconventional countess who is set to be presented to the King and Queen marking her open for courting. We then meet Kenric a stoic guard of the King and Queen’s palace guards. An orphan he takes his responsibilities very seriously. When the light appears in an area of the castle that should be closed, Kenric investigates stumbling upon Lindy a who to him is a very unorthodox young lady of nobility in only that she is a kind, generous, and strong thinking woman. Further, various encounters with Lindy’s generosity and strong will make him create an ill, wild picture of her. When Lindy’s Father, Lord Morris sends for him to inquire if he would wish to be a Castellan for him and was referred to by Lindy herself, and reveals to Kenric who Lindy truly is Kenric sees he was very mistaken about her. Kenric accepts the offer and when Lindy’s generous kind heart back at the castle puts them in danger, feelings always get put in perspective.

 Adalindis, A Tale of Generosity is wonderful! I totally loved this story! Lindy and Kenric are such strong characters. They are considerably written, you get who they are in an instant, and love them! If you are looking for a book to bring a smile to your face Adalindis will do just that. It is pretty much what Zysk’s books do, which is why she is such a delight to read. When I am tired of the heavy stuff, I only pluck up a Zysk’s book and she hands you a smile of hope, romanticism, and chivalry in a time far away.
