A review by mysticforestcrafts
Midnight Strikes by Zeba Shahnaz
4.25
Pros:
While I worried after hearing this book was similar in concept to Groundhog’s Day the movie I was pleasantly surprised. The author did a good job balancing repeating things and trying new options. I never felt like it was tedious and frustrating and that I had to get through this to get to something new.
I found this a beautiful way to explore the idea that history is written by victors and they can include, exclude and edit things as they wish. So much is lost/forgotten over time because of choices people made in the past and it is essential people learn that in a way that shows it’s importance like in this story.
Cons:
Part of me wanted a happier ending but that is just the happily ever after romance I grew up on.
