“The two main characters completely stole my heart.”
I absolutely adore timeline fantasy, and this book is a perfect example of why. From the very first page, it pulls you into a loop you never see coming—expect the unexpected, because this story isn’t afraid to shock you when you least anticipate it. While it does start off a little slow, it’s the kind of slow burn that quietly builds trust. Stick with it. The payoff is so worth it.
The two main characters completely stole my heart. Their relationship starts off rocky, filled with tension and uncertainty, but that only made their journey more satisfying. I had a feeling something was off early on—and I was right. This is the kind of book where paying attention to the small details matters, because everything has meaning.
What truly made this story special for me was the mental health representation. It felt thoughtful, honest, and deeply human, adding an emotional depth that made the fantasy feel even more real. Cozy, magical, and quietly powerful, this book lingered with me long after I turned the last page.
