Fun, fast-paced, and romantic, The Artisan Way is a fantastic coming-of-age story that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and in particular, Lyah, a smart, bold, clever girl who has to overcome her circumstances at home and figured out how to make it on her own. Though her decisions aren't always the best, she has a kind and loving heart as we see from her development throughout the short novel. I found myself cheering for both Lyah and Keith as they experience an adventure full of twists and turns, and I enjoyed the romantic subplot and even wondered who in this book might be soul mates as the chance-meetings of some of the characters are intriguing. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a story full of romance, adventure and lots of twists and turns.
