Thank you so much to Bramble Romance and Colored Pages Book Tours for gifted finished copy of this book! I will say, I usually don't enjoy books with historical fiction aspects, but the fantasy part of this book really helped differentiate it from other books with historical fiction aspects.
I loved being able to watch Luca and Matti's relationship bloom from their first interaction onward. The author does a great job of making it a slow burn that is worth the wait. I also enjoyed how this author represented panic attacks in the books, and how the character learned to cope with it. I think this book deserves more recognition and hype than it's getting! Definitely recommend!
