" 'Alright sunshine, show me your world.' "

Tales of Forever and Now is a standalone novella set in the Tales of Earth and Leaves series.

I received an ARC from Noel after seeing their videos on TikTok, so I was thrown into the series blindly. However, ToFaN didn't disappoint.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the novella, even if I was a bit confused at the beginning. It only lasted a bit before I got ahold of the characters and who they were. If you wanna read Tales of Forever and Now, I highly recommend reading the whole series before delving in.

I liked reading about the supernatural world and the world blending on Earth was well done.

Cressida was a nice MC, but I felt at points that her sexual advances and thoughts got a bit too much for me. 

That being said, I loved Cressida and Rhylan together, and I just wish we got at least one chapter of Rhylan's POV. 

I recommend ToFaN for any paranormal romance and fae reader!

" 'I'm doing what one is supposed to do when in front of a goddess. Worshipping you.' "

Thank you to Xandra Noel for an ARC!
