I like how descriptive the writing is. I love character driven fiction.
"I know of no maze, but the one to your heart. Many have tried and failed to reach it."
I found this kind of like an Alice in wonderland adventure. Written in third person, but we begin by seeing the story through Ben's eyes. I was surprised when the story ends with Ben and picks up again with Lila, a re-telling from her. But you soon realise it makes sense to be done this way so you see more of the wacky journey.
There isn't romance as such, but you definitely glimpse the deep and genuine feelings between Lila and Ben. I usually need strong romantic elements, however this book holds its own.
I don't advise to read this while drinking. Not that I did... I just think it would be trippy.
I really enjoyed this and devoured it quickly. I will definitely be reading more by this talented author.

In The Corner of 1700 Hamilton, author Vania Rheault takes us on an amazing journey as two people fall in and succumb to love at first sight.
The problem? At first glance, they each assume the other is taken and thus they try to forget the encounter. Both wind up at a night club called "The Maze." What Mrs. Rheault does so brilliantly is as she is telling the story of Ben and Lila, The Maze itself becomes an integral character.
Parts of 1700 will have you on the edge of your seat, digging in your heels in hopes that these two people who are so obviously spellbound by the other will meet again, but also that they simply find their way out safely. Other parts of 1700 will have you so wrapped up in the delicious romance that you forget there might be danger lurking around the corner.
I am very much looking forward to reading what comes next from this talented writer.

From beginning to end I found I could not put this book down. Vania Rheault has created a magical, fantastic, romantic journey. And with her flawless style of writing transports the reader into the middle of the action. Simply put, one of the best books I've ever read. I highly recommend it and look forward to more from her in the future--- D. R. Willis

Loved the book.
The classic girl meets boy story done in a rather twisted way. I really enjoyed that the story was told from both perspectives made it just that little bit more. The setting of The Maze was just an excellent one, very original concept. I found it to be very well written and fast moving. Only took me a few days to read it.
Highly recommend.

Alice in Wonderland for the modern age!
This books gives a trip through the looking glass a whole new meaning. It's packed full of dangerous drama aimed right at its characters.
The characters open doors/portals and are sent on life threatening adventures, what's not to love about that?
And it has a heart warming romance too. Everything this gal needs and wants in a book.

Two words on my mind when I finished this book: exceptionally creative.
Not your average romance, not your average plot, not your average twists and turns. Most importantly: not your average quality of writing! Vania Rheault's unique style of perfect form and effortless imagination weaves the plot and characters at a dizzying pace.
TCO1700H (whew!) is a wonderful, genre-bending piece of fiction, laden with humour, wonder and more than a few moments where my mouth was wide open in disbelief. It's hard to explain the exact moment the hard realism starts to slip into fantasy. Is it real? Is it real to the characters? As much of a puzzle as the surreal location(s) it takes place in, TCO1700H is a joy to navigate and solve.

I was lucky to get to read her stuff in junior high on handwritten notebook paper! It was captivating then & even better now! Keep writing -I can't wait to read more.
