I loved the premise of this book and really wanted to love the story. But the main character was very judgy and shallow. The author brought in story pieces that could have had a huge impact on the story,
like the main character coming from an abusive household, or the characters being lesbians in the 1920s
but those things were never explored. There's also way too much casual mention of SA. I didn't feel connected enough to care about the characters. The setting was confusing and explained in a very slow paced, long-winded way. The plot was hardly existent at all. I wanted so badly to enjoy this story, but I just didn't find it enjoyable.

Full disclosure: This book was sent to me for free by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Time traveller sorceresses sapphic flappers!

Caught your attention?
Well, it caught mine when @cassieyorke1921 first contacted me and I’m so happy I accepted reviewing her book.

Fantasy/Sci-Fi isn’t my cup of tea… but let’s be honest, I can’t resist anything sapphic.

Honestly, it took me a while to get into, I’ve been working on my PhD so I couldn’t read for long periods of time, and the timelines jump kept throwing me off.

But once I got into it and got the hang of things, it was amazing.
Truly original and unique and sooo funny.

It became my favorite escapism after working all day.

So thank you Cassandra for getting me through a week of literal hell.

Once again,
Time traveller sorceresses sapphic flappers!

Go read it!!
