This was an amazing and magical book filled with hope, love, and believing in yourself!!! I loved the characters and the intersecting stories. Every time we found out there was a connection between our protagonists I was giddy!! Opaline’s story was tragic but also beautiful. I think this book showed love in different facets and the importance of not losing faith in love even when things go to shit. I loved the resilience of Martha and Henry’s love of books!! Finding the Truth was also another beautiful theme. I kept imagining Henry and Martha as like older but I think they maybe were supposed to be in their twenties. This was so light to read I stopped after 60 pages but when I picked it back up I was reading non stop!!

I'm not fully sure what to make of this book. Its just not what I thought it was going to be from reading the blurb which to me sounded more fantasy adventure. Its not the type of book I would normally read and it felt very slow but again I think that's because I was waiting for it to turn into the book I thought it was.
I'm going with 3 stars because I didn't hate reading it and I was really engaged in Opaline's story. Also because maybe I would enjoy it more rereading it as I would know what to expect going in so I wouldn't be getting something I didn't want.
