I loved this book. It is a top 5 read of the year for me.

As a loving mother of a 4-year-old daughter and a wife of a dedicated husband, this book struck so many chords with me. I was sobbing by the end of it. 

The romance and love in the book felt so genuine and true to life for me. The setting of the book was breathtaking and so vividly written. And the writing in general was so beautiful, I didn’t want to stop reading.

I too was a tad confused with the time travel element, however I loved everything else about this book so much, I doesn’t even matter to me.  I’m so happy I was able to experience this story, and look forward to more from this author in the future.

Super Interesting plot with a superb and evocative writing, but the romance part fell a little short for me.
It’s hard no to compare it to Spells since it was one of my fave books and my fave from Adrienne, and because of that I can’t in all honesty give this one the same rating as Spells was, for me, superior. Which is totally personal.
Again, this book is lyrical and beautiful and has a very intricate and mysterious plot, with a satisfying finale that doesn’t leave any loose threads.
I may review it better soon.

Confusing at first but ended up really liking it! The love story was my favorite part probably because romance is like a comfort genre and I’m pretty new to fantasy and magical realism. Very thoughtful and well written. Does have my least favorite topic which is child abandonment (not a spoiler it’s mentioned right away) but that was just like a fact? It wasn’t explored much on an emotional level it’s just like it is what it is.
