FINALLY FINISHED THIS HUGE BOOK! 
 
The plot kept me interested from the beginning until the end with action-packed scenes, mind blowing imagination, vivid and descriptive world building as well as the fun bantering from the grumpy x sunshine main characters! 
 
I enjoy my time following Addie’s journey joined by Jaik later on as they travelled around to find the answers to their missing memories and the truth of what happened to the storytellers of this world. 
I adore their chemistry, how supportive they are to one another – truly meant to be together! 
 
This story is a slow-burned one which makes it perfect to build a vivid world building and character growth but some parts feel dragging and slightly repetitive which makes this book feel longer than it should. 
The writing style can also be too descriptive at some parts that I skim past through some of the paragraph to keep the plot going. 
 
The last few chapters are truly heart-breaking, I wasn’t expecting this to be quite an emotional read. But that epilogue at the end gives hope for the main characters for new beginning which I really like. 
 
Overall, it’s an interesting read with unique element featuring storytellers. 
I quite enjoy my time reading this one, I saw that this is the 1st book of an interconnected standalones so I’m looking forward to read the next adventure in this world! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
