A review by mybooksarenovel
Through Smoke and Sand: The Folly of Wishes by Corrie Hathaway
3.0
This contemporary fantasy was pitched to me as being clean, and for fans of Narnia. It is clean, and is a portal fantasy. However, I wasn't a fan.
The story was fine. It read like a sweet contemporary romance set in a fantasy world. Fairy godmothers, found family, and a cute love interest, and a neurodivergent MC. If this is your cup of tea, you would be a much better audience than I was.
I have a lot of criticism, but I feel that it is based on reading a style of novel I am not interested in. The inner monologuing was driving me crazy for the most part, and the story was a bit silly in my opinion. However, I do think this is merely a matter of preference, and I know that there's a large audience for this.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book for review.
