ARC Review.

Reflections of Lilje Damselfly is simply a beautiful work of art. The writing feels like a fairy tale, so magical and full of wonderful descriptions that make you want to be there in the pond. The romance is soft and gentle, something I really liked, I loved seeing Lilje falling in love for the first time, both characters getting closer and the build up was a delight.

The representation of a character with a chronic illness is just on point and something I really appreciated as someone with a chronic illness and chronic pain. At some point I did think I wanted some more mentions of the illness and how it affected Lilje, and just as I thought that, the book delivered it. Seeing Lilje having to miss things she wants to do due to her illness is something that I felt really represented with.

The only thing I'd ask for is that this book was longer, I'd have loved to read more about their life together, especially when they just started being together and at the end, but also a bit of their daily life.
