A review by oceanwriter
A Tale of Renascence by Arriah Kiprujistho, Dami Yanti

adventurous reflective medium-paced

4.0

Personally, I’m not someone who believes in past lives, so until this book was presented to me, I never thought of it to be a focus in a fictional plot. My curiosity was piqued! 
 
The book begins in modern times, following Adam through a turbulent time in his relationship with Fiona. Adam eventually finds an interest in exploring his past life. There, the story shifts to 1836 where we see Adam/Augustus and his relationship with a girl named Roselyn. 
 
I loved the writing and ease of dialogue. For some reason though, I was thrown off by the time period switch despite knowing it was coming. Thankfully, it didn’t take too long to switch gears. I found both halves of the stories strong and with promise for an equally compelling continuation. 
 
A huge thanks to the author for reaching out and offering to send me a free copy of the book to read and review! I opted to read this via KindleUnlimited.
