The author wrote it in a way that made sense. Like other aspects of the book, it was well thought out. The time travel element was very well done. He wasn’t one of those heroes the heroine (or the reader) falls for immediately, but by the end you can’t help but love him. Not a complicated character, he was smart, kind, gentle yet strong, and generous. I also liked how the villains of the story weren’t evil for the sake of being evil they were doing what they truly believed was best. I liked how each of the protagonists were imperfect, neighbour-like people. The characters were all distinct from each other, each with different features and personalities. However, it wasn’t just the love between people explored in the book there was love for a family, a country, and a past time. There were many intense, emotional moments between characters. The writing is so brilliant that I could feel what they were feeling most of the time.

I loved the depth of emotions experienced by various characters. The whole story was heart-wrenching, beautiful, and felt authentic.

It was so suspenseful that I always had to read “just one more chapter” to find out what happened next. The writing is poetic and lyrical, and just jumped off the page. I was completely captivated by What the Wind Knows. However, the differences between her and the original Anne eventually puts her life in danger.
