This book is excellent. It has fantasy elements without being hardcore fantasy, and it’s a beautiful story about strong women. 

I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day and a half. In the beginning, I thought I knew where the story was heading, but I really didn’t at all. That’s the sign of a good author and a good book. 

This is the kind of book that makes you remember why you love reading. Not just because the book itself is good, but because of the way the characters talk about books and literature. 

I really enjoy books like this that flip back and forth between narrators and time periods, but it’s not always done well, and the author did an excellent job. 

I also loved how many powerful lines were in the book. I was constantly highlighting.

The premise of this book was really interesting, but it did not pay off as much as I wanted it too and left a bit to be desired. There was a little too much going on overall. But still a fun read with some interesting twists.

Beautiful. Magical. I LOVED reading this book. I got goosebumps reading the very magical moments. I felt lost when I finished it. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
