This book is strange but in a good way. It made me think about a lot of things. I see that this book is a bit more profound than the usual run-of-the-mill paranormal books. It is strange, more thought of? As if the author took her time to map out some world-building that is a bit more in-depth than the usual flimsy world of the paranormal bestsellers on Amazon.
You think you start somewhere with this story, but it quickly spirals into something else. I liked it. I cannot believe that I am saying this and I am not cringing.
I do hope that the next book in the series will explore at large the world-building that it teased us with. I do hope it will get a bit more high-fantasy in that sense and delve into aspects of royalty and strange magical new lands.
Now, I have to make a last remark on something that was going on in the second half of the book, so, beware, spoilers lay ahead!

I liked the wedge that was put between the potential love relationship of the protagonist and her love interest. I found it interesting how much the author chose to drag on the situation with the protagonist not knowing if she is the reincarnated version of his mate or if she is the sister of the mate. It was adrenaline-inducing to watch her agonize over this. Look at this quote, for example: “What’s so funny?” I asked, and they both went still.Brayden caught my gaze and a guilty look crossed his face. “Leah had another memory, a particularly embarrassing one for me.”
Another memory?
My gut tightened. Is she Lena? Did they both now know? My gaze flicked to their hands to see if they were intertwined, but they weren’t.”
Overall, I would give it five stars just to give it a boost, because I am very curious about where this series is going to lead to.
