Another beautifully written book by Milena McKay. And as always, well narrated by Abby Craden. They are a combination you can’t go wrong with.
My reasons for not being a 5 star were mostly based on the ending.
Even with the time jump, things seemed rushed somehow? Also, all the revelations/confessions from Juliet's friends didn’t sit well with me. They almost seemed forced or if nothing else laid heavy on the miscommunication trope (which I’m not much of a fan of) that if spoken sooner could have saved a lot of heartache, a potential for Juliet to want to clarify things with Katarina sooner, maybe even preventing what happened or at least saved a couple of years of wallowing in sadness and anger. BUT, that’s drama for you! Makes a book - and the ballet 😉
Would have liked learning more about Juliet’s past to add more layer to her. I hope we get a Magdalene Nox type of book two from Katarina’s POV. 🤞🤞🤞 Now THAT, I’d be highly interested in!

Reverence is one of those rare, incredible reads that leaves you wanting more while still offering complete closure through its flawless writing. I always know I’ve found a new favourite author when even the Afterword moves me to tears. This was my first Milena McKay book, but it definitely won’t be my last. I already know I’ll be recommending Reverence to everyone.

I hate to say it, but I rolled my eyes for the past 30% of this because AS IF. So cliché, unrealistic, and over the top. I don't buy the romance for a second and while I love an ice queen, these characters are hollow.
