Lie by Natalia Jaster

5.0

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. Honestly, reading Natalia Jaster's books are like falling into my happy place. She can do no wrong with her gorgeous writing and wonderful characters.

In Lie we find a Pinochio-inspired character- Aspen, a girl with woodskin and whose nose grows when she lies. Aspen meets Aire, a noble knight of Whimtany, honest and swift with his sword.

With beautiful prose these characters are brought together against a gorgeous Autumn backdrop and heart-hurting circumstances.

Reasons to Read and Things to Love About Lie:
- an abundance of snark! Wit! Humour!
- swoon-worthy enemies to lovers romance that doesn't take the entire book to happen!
- have I mentioned the GORGEOUS writing yet?
- adorable characters
- finger puppet shenanigans
- a badass bird sidekick!
- Nicu (he get's his own dot point bc he's the best)
- the actual fantastical setting of these books. It's just so *happy sigh*
- a plethora of fun characters to meet
- the cover. Did you see it? Amazing.

If you've been following the series since the beginning, there's also a starring role for fan-favourite character, Nicu! We met him as a child in book 1, and here he is again, 17 years old and an absolute sweetheart (he also gets his own love story in book 4 - Dream coming Feb 2019, but that's a different story, one I'm far too ecited for).

Please do yourself a favour and pick up these books. Like, honestly, you won't regret it, there's so much to love.
