⭐️ 3.5 - I loved the concept. The concept of an internal, epic love, transcending centuries and every life time, only to be murdered at their hands … so good.  Unfortunately for me, the “epic love” aspect didn’t quite hit. 

I liked the characters themselves, albeit I wish the FMC got her act together a little more and made our MMC tell her the truth way sooner than after some thousand-odd years. I didn’t feel much chemistry between them. To love one another so completely int the writing style but not show it in their interactions had me losing in interest around the 57% mark.  To have them only meet towards the time they’re due to die meant a soul shattering connection could never really be formed. 

However I loved the flashbacks and the idea of them coming back with no consistently - some times both women, sometimes both men, sometimes one or the other.  I also liked the ending and thought it rounded off the book itself nicely.  Love over suffering always 💕

Not a book I’d re-read but a good first and only read.
