wyvernfriend's review against another edition
3.0
The relationship is a bit angst ridden but this is a story of an otherworld that is reached through Ireland and a woman who discovers that she has a foot in this world and what's more, that foot needs to be in that world to save it.
Breen Kelly has always been a good girl and followed the rules and tries to make her mother happy, when she accidentally discovers that her mother has been hiding a legacy from her and that the actually doesn't have to be a mediocre teacher but could, maybe follow her heart, she takes the leap and finds that there are more things underneath this. There's magic and power and maybe even love.
It follows a well-trodden path by Nora Roberts in her romances and her fantasy works and while the relationship isn't fully resolved by the end you do know that there is potential there and that there will be more in the future books. I really enjoyed the read and the characters.

I didn't know what I was expecting going into this but I found it to be very enjoyable. I enjoyed the magic world and the family that she found. I didn't love how the mother was written.

A 15-hour prequel for Roberts' Dragon Heart Legacy fantasy series. Everything was a little too perfect, but it's a fairy tale so I guess that comes with the genre.
ETA this note: why did she write a series of books for middle schoolers with a dog named after a British slang term for testicles?

Niet onaardig, maar ik zie dit eerder als een (wat lange) aanloop naar spannender ontwikkelingen die hopelijk nog komen gaan...
