A review by hannahheartspaperbacks
The Realm of Oblivion by Marae Good
5.0
I wish I had the perfect words to write a review that does this book justice, but let me just say, out of the 147 books I’ve read so far this year, this was one of my absolute favorites. No book has touched my heart quite like this one did and made me feel such intense emotions.
This book follows Collins, a girl who’s trapped in her home, in her relationship and in a life she only remembers the last two years of. One night, Collins sneaks out of the house to meet up with a friend and meets an alluring stranger that has her questioning everything. On her rush to find him again, she’s abducted by another man who tries to convince her of her life before. A life from which she was abducted from her home planet and sold off. Collins ends up on the adventure of her life to get answers to the question of who she really is and who she can really trust.
This is Marae’s debut novel, and to say I’m blown away would be a massive understatement. The pull you feel to the characters and the worlds she’s created are incredible, and she’s able to accomplish in such detail what others take 800+ pages to do. This book had me sobbing my eyes out, but it’s only made me look forward to the next book even more.
I’m so excited for everyone to get to experience this book and fall in love with Collins like I did. Thank you to Marae for allowing me to read an ARC of this beautiful book and trusting us all with it. You’re truly created magic
