It was a good read. There was no system, no space, no ridiculous knowledge used to cheat the hardship of life in that era — I liked that. I also liked how the ML was not just portrayed as a cold and strong ML, you know, the typical type. His insecurities were shown, which made him more real to the FL and allowed her to better understand him and for them to get closer and had a richer relationship.Spoiler
I found the ML’s quirk (fetish?) funny... He got all frisky each time he’s confronted with his wife’s education and/or intelligence, or when he’s all proud of her. That’s also one thing I liked about the ML, he’s very supportive of the FL.
[collapse]Just like several other 70s stories I’ve read where the oldest child is a son, their love match did not live up to expectations. Throughout the story, they were very interesting and pretty amazing individuals they could be the ML or MC of a side story or a sequel, then the writer ran out of fuel and they were paired with a boring FL. 😩Another critique about the story, the writer was vague with the dates and details of events, not sure if that was by design or not, but to me, I found it frustrating as I was trying to place the events based on actual history.All in all, it was a good read and highly recommended. 😊👍
