When the world around you is crumbling to pieces, will you give up hope or fight to fix it? 

The Forgotten Earth is a dystopian romantasy that transports you to a world where the Earth is dead. No plants, no animals, no lakes, streams, or rivers. Armed with the knowledge from banned books, Willow is on a mission to try and fix it. 

I absolutely loved this book. It offers a unique blend of magic, romance, and the elements coupled with being set in a dystopia. The action keeps you turning the pages and the romance is sprinkled into just the right spots. 

I feel like the middle portion of the book could have been written out more, it felt a little rushed to me, but thats just a personal preference, and I might be a little biased because I truly didn't want Willow and Liam's story to end! 

If you enjoy a strong female lead, a morally grey (but also supportive!) male main character, witty banter, romance, and magic, this book is definitely for you! I genuinely cannot wait for book 2!
