Review by Lilac
Two young men are forced to wed as the result of a drunken oath foolishly made by their fathers. What effect will their union have on the rest of their lives?
From This Night is a touching story about two young men forced into marriage because of a pact made by their fathers during a night of drunkenness. When Agamo promised his next-born child in marriage to Khanis’s son, he never anticipated the child would be a boy as he only had daughters. Now years later there is no way out of the deal thanks to the priests, so Agamo’s son Suryo must marry Khanis’s son, Alasson. Both young men are angry and bitter over the arrangement, but know they must do their duty. Once a year has passed arrangements will be made and Alasson shall marry Agamo’s daughter.

But soon a friendship grows between the two men and Alasson knows it will be hard to part ways with Suryo.
This was a highly emotional and touching story as I really felt for these two men. You can sense the changes that they go through as they get to know one another. They go from bitterness to acceptance to sorrow over their inevitable parting. At first they are both reluctant and angry over the arrangement as they face ridicule and teasing from those that are aware of the marriage. But as they grow closer and more intimate with one another, things change between the two young men and their relationship not only fascinated me, but really pulled at the heartstrings.
My only complaint is that while told in third person, we really only get Alasson’s perspective and it would have been nice to know a bit more about what was going through Suryo’s head as he has to take the role traditionally reserved for females in his culture and is the one who stands to lose all once the arrangement has ended.
However, despite this the author brought these characters to life and my heart ached for them from the very first page to the emotional conclusion.
