my husband liked the title and cover and picked it out for me at a local bookstore. I had no idea this was Christian fiction until I read the acknowledgments. I guess it's subtle? but the acknowledgment of hoping we all find Jesus was a bit much for me.

anyways this was cozy and an easy read. very low stakes.

the writing leaned too heavily on real world examples to explain things. what is someone never read lord of the rings or Narnia? the actual writing itself could have been stronger. I felt like it was 2 books mushed together. a small town romance and a fantasy world that's in turmoil. I never felt either got justice.
