I got to say, I do not understand the bad reviews at all. Especially the DNF ones. Many of the questions they had would have been answered later in the book. I actually really enjoyed this book. It took me longer to read because of life situations, otherwise I would have finished much faster. The story hooked me in the first chapter. The questions I had about Izadora and her childhood were there, but were finally answered towards the end of the book. I love how the author gave such details on everything, from the surroundings to the fabric used to make her gowns later on. I also loved how she let you really get to know the side characters. In many books you really only know their names, but you had many one on one opportunities to know them as they trained Izadora during their time traveling. The ending was totally wow! And for the first time in a review, I’m leaving a spoiler! The only part in the book I was a tad confused about, was that I thought Kazimer was killed, but it turned out to be his father. I may have missed something. I was so deep into the book. As soon as I finished, I went to my bookshelf to grab the second book to start. I love a good dark fantasy romance. This was extremely one of them. I do want to add, because I saw many reviews about some triggers, that a more detailed trigger warning list probably should of been made in the beginning. I was not triggered, but there were some details in the book that not everyone could handle.
