A Forgery of Fate in a nutshell:
If Belle was an art forger that could paint the future + Beast was a half dragon cursed to live without his heart... BUT Beast wants Belle, not to get back his heart, but to help him take down his evil grandfather who cursed him. Oh and it all takes place in the most whimsical underwater world!

This was such a magical read and the Beauty and the Beast inspiration was present in all the right places without being overdone.

What I loved…
- the YEARNING! the SLOW BURN! A+++++
- family forward story
- badass FMC with quiet strength
- lyrical prose and whimsy for days!
- Adventure and high stakes
- He makes her POCKETS for her dress!
- marriage of convenience

What I didn’t love…
- Overall this was a great story but I felt like I couldn’t quite visualize the setting as well as in Lim’s previous books. I would have liked a bit more world-building.
- I wanted even more romance and moments between the MCs!

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for sending this book (eARC) for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
