In twists and turns their fate ends up much different Than planned, Both in places they wouldn't have imagined..Can her heart make the journey it's being required to take? I have to start by saying, I have not read the series that this book was Meant for as a prequel. So I didn't have anything invested in the characters as one who has read them may, that being said, I didn't really enjoy this book. While I liked the feeling of experiencing another world in another time, I didn't love the writing. The conversationAl slang was much too modern for the time period and setting. It made it very hard to get really into the story . And honestly it was quite depressing. Life can be, I don't expect every book to have a happy ending. But I wasnt really expecting this particular book to end on such a melancholic note. I will say, I would still be willing to read her other books, particularly the series this is connected to because I liked her ideas, and would like to see if I enjoyed her other books better. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for a review.
