Loved this book! The world that the book takes place in is very original and fun to imagine. I was a little skeptical of the romance at first. I usually find in dystopian romances that the relationship quickly turns so toxic that I can’t stand one or both of the characters. The characters within the romance were very well developed in this novel. You get a to know both of them as complex human beings, not just as the subjects of a romance. So while each of them have flaws and make mistakes, you still find yourself rooting for them. Overall, I loved this book and will be keeping my eye out for a sequel!

May 8, 2025 A few weeks ago, I was scrolling on YouTube and I found this author. She seemed so pure and just full of joy. I started reading Trees of Fate that very night and was amazed of how unique and original the plot and world was. It was unlike anything I had ever read before which is hard to come across these days. I feel like a lot of books now can be predictable or repetitive but this was definitely not that! Trees of Fate was full of twists and turns and definitely kept me on my toes. The romance was very cute and even though it seemed to move a little fast in my opinion it still had me giggling. I also found some parts of the story a little hard to follow, but overall, I thought it was a great debut novel and I will definitely continue reading this authors books.
