A Word so Fitly Spoken by T.A. Lawrence
5.0

I honestly loved this book. I’m so confused by the ratings that say it fell flat and was repetitive, did we even read the same book??

This books really stood out to me in the sea of YA fae fantasy novels about a young female protagonist that “isn’t like other girls”. The storytelling ability that Asha has was very intriguing, and I was so invested in the flashback story that Asha tells throughout the book. There were also several moments that just paint such a nice, visual picture of what was happening. I also saw a few reviews that complain about how the romance has no basis, as Asha and Kiran don’t have many conversations. But I think this romance blossoms through actions, rather than words.

The best part of the book was the plot twist, because holy moly I did not see that coming! I’m even disappointed to learn that this is a one off and that the following books don’t follow Asha’s story anymore. How will we get closure??
