Fates Illuminated by Aimee Vance

5.0

Funny, charming, relatable, heart warming, a little bit spicy, and overall an excellent read!

Shelbie is a 31 year old who doesn't quite know what she wants out of life, but loves her family and friends dearly. A poorly planned trip and unexpected time travel find her in a world before her time surrounded by a viking culture she kniws next to nothing about. Her journey to meet the ultimate grump, his friends, and family had me laughing throughout.

Time travel is a trope I rarely read as I often find it cumbersome, and unrealistic. However, Aimee wrote this beautifully and I found it to truly add to the story instead of hindering it. It was refreshing to read about an FMC in their 30s instead of their early 20s. Especially when she was a hot mess and still trying to find her way. Let's be honest most of us don't figure it out in our 20s!

I highly recommend this book and can not wait for the sequel!
