so-soStar-crossed lovers at its finest! However, very little interaction between the love pair.
The villains felt flat.
The narrative style again was again top of "once upon a time".
I expected so much more from the epilogue- after all Jacks and Evangeline have been through!
Cheddar cheese fudge?
Who thinks it sounds good?
Think it or any food that glows in the dark make my list of fears.
Yeah, this was written for those like me, the childlike!
Even as a kidult, this is still a wonderful read (reread) for me. Truly a magical story with beautiful illustrations.
pickMy first Ross book but definitely won‘t be my last. Beautiful and unique fantasy world-building, characters to root for and love and a story that is absorbing and gorgeously written…unfortunately for me, it‘s a standalone. 😂😂😔 Happy to have discovered this author. 4.5/5⭐️

NO I DID NOT GO ON VINTED AGAIN..... how could you think such a thing 😅
pickI‘ve become a Rebecca Ross fangirl, and loved being able to go into her back catalogue for this one. I loved the story and it gave me a bit of Sorcery of Thorns vibes too. There were characters that weren‘t as they seemed but I didn‘t see it coming. Really satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A #Candlelit title in my #TBR I do love the cover of this book. 🕯️💜
pickI fell in love with Rebecca Ross as an author last year when I discovered A River Enchanted and Divine Rivals, and wanted to explore more of her back catalog (found on Hoopla).
This ended up being a light pick (3.5 ⭐️). Ross has a beautiful writing style that really brings forth the magic of the worlds she creates. Overall, though, this ended up being a somewhat generic (but above average) YA fantasy romance.
I recommend to #BorrowNotBuy!
so-soMaybe I would have enjoyed this more if I‘d just read the previous books, but as it was I had somewhat forgotten the plot of those stories and this one jumps right in. I was kind of confused at first as it heavily assumes you are fully up to speed, and once I did catch back on it just felt meh. Not bad or boring just not as good as the first 2 books (or as I remember them being). Way too much romance for me! 🌟🌟🌟
pickThis story spans several decades, family members and countries in an epic way. Filled with family love, historical references, family trauma, plenty of drama and a fair amount of humor, Han delivers a wonderful story about family and the secrets we keep in order to protect them, or so we think. I loved how matter of fact Jeonga is and the squabbling she has with her sisters is so realistic and part of what gives this book so much heart.
