How.
Fun.
What first struck me with this book was that all of Riordan's thoughts? I could hear his Irish tilt. Even without knowing he lived in Ireland, the way the words were laid out was that of someone with an Irish tongue, so good work, Ms. North!
After I was coming off my accent-high, we meet thousand-words-a-minute, Sam. She's come from America to ask if she can dig up his garden (only to later find out a garden is actually a yard) to look for a necklace that has been a family story for years and years.
I have to say, Sam certainly came across as naive and young when we, and Riordan, first met her, but it was her enthusiasm that ended up making her such a lovable character. When I see Riordan and Sam's bickering, I think of Leap Year -- fun with just enough simmering energy for the reader to know there is so much more under the surface.
Their banter is certainly what had the pages turning, and then it was Riordan and his semi-relationship with James that sealed the deal for me on this man. Definitely a fun, funny, story, and I cannot wait for the remaining books in the series!
