Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Victoria has just lost her father in a terrible accident and her brother is lying in a come from which he is unlikely to ever wake again. One day she has a dream, a beautiful women appears to her and tells her she was sent from her brother's kingdom. And even though Victoria doesn't want to believe it at first, after a couple of meetings and various kinds of proof she starts to trust Ashlinn.

The Cover is gorgeous and I love Calista's writing style, it's really nice to read.

I did like Victoria as a character and I understood why she acted the way she acted in terms of recent trauma, but at times it was hard to really feel anything for her as the book seemed rushed.

It is a really nice book for anyone who might be confused about what asexuality is, or who might think they are ace themselves.

I was incredible happy about the representation (Ashlinn is also a black girl, so that was nice!) but I had quite a few problems with the story.

The world building is sadly incredible lacking. There are so many questions left. How does the dream world work? I would have loved more information on Semira. How does Victoria manage to lucid dream all the time? What exactly is the dream lore? Explain please! The romance between them seems rushed as well. I get why that happened, the book is only 180 pages long, but it all could have been dealt with so much better, so it's a bit disappointing.

So all in all the book is nice, but far too short and many things could have been discussed in more depth.

The ending was very nice though.

Why I read it: The gorgeous cover! A book about ace lesbians! Have I mentioned how gorgeous the cover is?
Do I recommend it: If you enjoy a dreamy romance novel (ha see what I did there?), go for it.
