I really enjoyed this book. The interlacing love stories were so lovely to read and their relevance to the story was well considered. I did feel the relationship between the two main characters in the current day could have done with more development however I did enjoy the focus on past storytelling. Slow in a few places where explanations were very detailed but overall lovely yet dark interesting and romantic read.

I was so surprised by this book. I saw a review saying that it was a great listen as an audiobook so I got myself a copy. I loved this book so much! The narrator does a great job and the characters are all so unique and the storytelling and descriptions… I could just go on and on
