This book had me on the edge of my seat untill the very end. And by the time I finished it, i felt the familliar emptyness i have a lot when finishing stories like this. I need to read more. I am so extremely shocked in a good way. The last chapter had me in a chokehold. 

The world in this book feels so familliar, because war and what it does is so real and still talked about in my country the netherlands where we were at the forefront of the world war 2. Families broken apart, people ruthlessly killed for no reason. Its all something that actually happened not too far from where I live. In my own street actually. So this book was for me very close to home.

This is an interesting book. I found the language a tad bit flowery for me, but it wasn't too bad. And the content and overall writing style I enjoyed. 

Definitely check out the trigger warnings, just in case. This was emotionally rough at times. The romance was cute, and there was technically a sex scene, but it was not explicit. Most people would consider this a sweet romance, but the overall themes and such mean it's no cutesy romance book. 

Interesting world building with mythology as history. Love a typewriter book.

This is most certainly a Romantasy- heavy on the romance aspect. I didn’t really know where this book would go- it’s so unique. And I was pleasantly surprised, as I hung on, along for the ride. I loved how the characters unfolded. There was a spot here and there where I called what would happen
like when the B&B was getting robbed and it ended up being Forest
The beginning was slow, but the second half of the book made it worth it. I really wish we had more scenes/time with Attie. I genuinely enjoyed this story, but it didn’t blow me away- which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
