✨ARC Review✨

This book was so good!

This was a little but of a slow read until 30%. Not a lot happens and not only is it kind of boring but there’s not really much world building that’s relevant to the rest of the book

It definitely does pick up after that but the story was just okay. Most of the story was very predictable and there seemed to be a few scenes that just didn’t really feel necessary.

The last chapter was everything I wanted in the rest of the book. High stakes, magic, & hard decisions.

I wish magic was brought in the story before the last 10% as this seemed like a little bit of an afterthought even though it’s a huge plot point.

The last chapter made the entire book worth reading and it opens up the next book to really hit the ground running for the rest of the series.

I would consider this book a decent pallet cleanser after a heavy fantasy book where you’re looking for a bit of fluff.

I received an ARC of this title from The Nerd Fam. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My first question is HOW is this a debut novel?!

I found it so beautifully written; featuring a diverse cast of compelling characters, a captivating plot that kind of crept up and got its hooks in me before I realized, and the sort of imagery I yearn to find within a fantasy romance novel.

If you’re looking for a slow-burn love triangle, action-packed and plot-twist heavy Romantasy, I would definitely recommend Lunaria.

A gripping start to the The Unraveled Fate Series— this one will give you ALL the feels.

The more reviews I write the harder they become to write, especially when it’s a read like this and all I want to do is yell and scream and throw my feet up and giggle about it like the maniac that I am.

Lunaria is simply beautiful.

The writing is amazing and it’s the perfect balance of plot, world, and character.

I had so many feelings surrounding her nightmares and this “tonic” her asshat of a father was giving her and although we don’t get the answers in Lunaria, we get enough to know something is amiss in Crea besides the dodder root.

And yes, I have a new book boyfriend because Graylen is EVERYTHING and I cannot wait to get more of him, and of course Lunaria, Addie, and Avery in Illuminance 3.21.24

Romantic fantasy that has aspects of found family, a strong female lead, fake dating, and a slow burn (clean). It took me about 20% to be fully immersed in the book due to all the world building but once I got started I COULDN’T put it down. It reminds me of the Red Queen series. Halfway through the book I was like… what would make this better?? i really wanted a spicy “why choose”, but by the ending I had changed my mind. I do wish it was longer. I can’t wait to add this physical book to my collection and for the rest of the series!!!

Release date is August 20th and I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review!

Edited to say the conversation editing was confusing to me because it would be one person speaking but on the same line it would have another’s reaction if that makes sense?
