marelles 's review for:

4.0

I was super excited to read this book, the blurb and the idea of a Tarzan retelling sounded good. I liked the story and the characters. This was a fun read with some sad moments, this book is for you if you don't take the books you read too seriously.

I just can't love books that do the thing where the MCs fall in love in a week or two. Eden and Thorne knew each other for a week before they said 'I love you'. They were cute and all but I simply can't get behind that. I loved the way Thorne took care of Eden, he was definitely my favorite character.

If you're going into this story thinking it's going to be realistic- oh boy you are wrong, get those thoughts out of your head and you might actually like this book.
It's like the author didn't know how to defeat the villain of the story and just added some magic to the story. It was somewhat realistic up until the last chapters. The author described Africa as this magical place, but I didn't think I had to take that literary.
