Not a bad read, but not exactly my type of fantasy genre.
This book starts out strong with an independent and strong female lead who wants to be a mother and will go to any lengths to be one. This part of the story had me hooked and honestly disappointed me that it was my favourite part.
Brigid wakes up 100 years in the future with loss of her memories. I just wish that the memory loss storyline could have sped up a little faster as it was 40% of the book.
I feel like this book could have benefitted from a different point of view. I found it hard to connect to the characters with a 3rd person omniscient POV and maybe i would have understood them more if the story was told from their perspective.
Also i found the way the story was written as well as brigid and luc’s tone was from 100 years ago when the story began so it seemed like it didn’t fit with the way ophelia and finola spoke. Also i could have done without the podcasts and news articles, i mostly skimmed these parts to get to the main storyline.
Overall this story wasn’t bad by any means, it just had A LOT going on and it couldn’t keep me interested.
Thank you Netgalley and to the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
