A Forgery of Fate
by Elizabeth Lim
A Forgery of Fate by Elizabeth Lim is beautifully written, Lim paints a fantasy world that is rich in beauty.
🐉 Marriage of Convenience
🐉 He Falls First
🐉 Dragons
🐉 Beauty and Beast Retelling
🐉 Slow Burn
I wasn't really sure what to expect going in, and I'm so glad because I'm so happy with my experience. AFOF starts with Tru our FMC, she after losing her father at sea, she makes a career as an art forger to support her family and pay off her mother's gambling debts. After chasing a painting into a dragons lair she ends up in a marriage of convivence with Elang, a exiled dragon price. And yes, the marriage of convenience does marriage of convenience.
I loved how, Tru was so committed to her family in particular her sisters and her passion. Elang, my baby, what to do with you, because I love you and you must be protected at all times. I loved all the side characters, there was an air of mystery and who do you/don't trust that kept you on your toes the entire time. Tru's mother though was the worst part of the book, every time she came on the page I signed and wished for it to be over. She made it on the list of characters I can't stand and at times ruined the book for me, she's so selfish and the fact that they're playing happy family at the end annoyed me so much which she caused literally all of the misery they suffered. I get the whole forgiveness but she's the reason Tru's sisters were sold... so how does that make any sense. That ending though was beautiful and sad and perfect.
Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton / Hodderscape for the eARC in exchange for my honest review,
