A review by roniphillips
What Lies Beyond the Veil by Harper L. Woods

3.0

Update: Someone take my phone away from me for at least an hour after finishing a book. If I keep rating every book immediately after I finish it (if I don’t DNF it), I will rate it a 5 because vibes I guess.
Even if I don’t REMEMBER IT 30 MINUTES LATER

4 ⭐️ in my heart immediately after finishing. Realistically, 3 ⭐️.

I will admit, I think most people won’t love this book like I did. This book was JUST what I wanted right now. And in case anyone was wondering, I rate purely based on emotions 99.9% of the time.

The first chapter had me thinking I would not like this book. The world building that was thrown out immediately was a lot to handle. After the first chapter, my interest grew and I got more attached to the main character, Estella.

The story generally kept me hooked (like most fantasy romances do) and the romance was good. The end was a little abrupt but that’s why there’s a book 2, right?
I will say, I saw the ending coming pretty early on. It didn’t really keep me guessing.

I will def continue the series and look into more by this author!
