Loved this book. It's full of surprises. It has a character, Rachel, I feel close to my heart. But most of all turns the table and makes you see things from someone else's perspective. Even if it is a tale of a sort there is no true good or evil. Just people, trying their best, failing or succeeding, but always fighting to be loved as they are.

This book explores the timeless theme of love triumphing over people differences and dark forces. The narrative skillfully weaves together two distinct worlds, creating a captivating backdrop for the evolving romance. The strength and individuality of the main characters add depth, making their journey a compelling exploration of love's transformative journey.

What a wonderful ride through the author's imagination. She takes you through worlds to see what could be, and encourages her readers to believe that Love wins.

This was so fun to read. Between the multiple povs, the contrasting characters, and all the twist and turns, I was definitely kept on my toes with this one!
I really liked the way the information was slowly delivered. You got enough to understand what was happening but you knew there had to be more than that going on. And there was!
I very much enjoyed all the different characters and how unique each one was. How different their perspectives were.
And when I tell you there were constant twists and turns and things being revealed... it was definitely fast paced and kept me interested.
I really enjoyed how it all wrapped up... and then the end still surprised me.
Give this one a try if you are looking for a new take on the romantasy genre.
