Interesting plot (girl dying of cancer makes a deal that transports her into her favorite book series -that she honestly hasn't read closely at all due to being sick i suppose- in the role of a villainess). The writing style was a bit choppy so it took me longer to get through than usual. But will read the next book in the series.

This book is SO GOOD Y’ALL!!! The characters are immediately lovable, the alternate worlds are thought provoking and intriguing, the COMEDY. I was absolutely guffawing through this book. Sarah you literary genius.

Holy crap I loved this. I had no idea how this book would end, so I spoiled myself halfway through. The spoiling actually made the book infinitely more interesting because I caught all the subtext and sneaky hints Brennan was leaving for us. The premise is beautifully original and written flawlessly. Every character felt well-fleshed out and the constant confusion by those in Eyam when modern speech was introduced was laugh-out-loud *chef’s kiss*. I feel confused and little shortchanged by the ending. The tone shifted dramatically in the final chapter so I’m wondering if I misunderstood the more negative tinges…? One of my favorite books of 2024.
This book feels enjoyable, maybe I will come back to it. The tonal dissonance between the main character and the setting she is in was disruptive for me, but if I didn’t have such a long tbr list (or even just fewer books checked out from the library currently) I’d probably give it more time.
