Thank you to the publisher for an e-ARC via netgalley! I was going to “read for a bit” this morning before doing work-related stuff once I got out of bed and…here we are! Whoops? Will I be anxiety ridden tomorrow trying to do as much as possible to make up for time lost? Probably.
I’ll admit it didn’t enchant me from page 1, but I was definitely intrigued enough and compelled to keep reading. Although this book is about war and has war scenes, there’s something about it that’s…quiet. It’s the kind of book that grows on you as you read it, then you realize at some point that you actually, in fact, LOVE it. It’s the kind of book that lingers in your soul long after you’ve turned the last page.
The ending will absolutely rip your heart out like a beast. Although the last time that happened (with A River Enchanted) the sequel came out later that year. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that’s also going to happen with Iris at the Front #2. I couldn’t bear it if I had to wait a whole year or longer.
I feel greatly honored at being able to read an ARC of this book and am SO excited for others to fall in love with Iris & Roman one month from now.
