I always find myself re reading this series. I found this over 3 years ago, yet every time I read it I feel different. The story and the art is truly beautiful. The author with many of her other series never Fails to amaze me. Her pen is a gift. This story I feel is incredibly timeless. From the characters to the art, I honestly feel that this should get a drama. It truly needs more recognition.
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve re-read this manhwa. It is so well written and executed that it’s almost addictive. I live for bittersweetness, and this manhwa is the epitome of that. It is my fav gender bender story, suits my preferences so perfectly Such storylines are truly bad for my health…
In 18th century England, Gabriel, an orphan girl from a fallen noble family befriended a young man named Jeremy, who was rumored to be an illegitimate child of a nobleman. After an incident occurred, resulting in his tragic death, Gabriel must impersonate her friend Jeremy, taking his place at an all boys academy for nobles, a place that may seem like heaven to others, but really hides a harshness which she would never have imagined.
Like everyone else I'd say that the ending to Savage Garden is the weakest part of it. The characters were really strong in the story up till that was really strong but it just kind of implodes on itself at the end. Also, like everyone else, I thought Euan deserved better. I found him to be a more compelling love interest than Ray and I wish he hadn't died. No, nature of the story is meant to be, but having said that, that clashes with the ending. Ray and Gabrielle did not seem like characters you should have ended up together and certainly not in the way displayed at the en. It just felt cheap. Like more. What is been added to preserve the nature of the manhwa thus far. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it.
