Peaches & Honey: These Immortal Truths
by R. Raeta
slow-paced
A HISTORY BOOK.

I am a bit disappointed by this book. It felt closer to a history book rather than an indie version of Addie LaRue (of which I loved). The years chosen for all of these jumps didn’t feel random necessarily, but there wasn’t a good flow of the plot of the jumps Anna hangs around different critical moments of history, talks about how horrible they are, and then goes to the next one.
Khiran is kind of a love interest? They seem to talk only ever few hundred years (until later in the story) and I honestly never felt a true connection. Yes, there’s some good moments but nothing I’d rave about.
I’m confused by the magic system, we had one story at the very end that kind of described what was happening, and that was it. We meet some other immortals with no background info and I wish this was more fully put together.
I don’t have plans to read the next book.
Overall audience notes:
- Historical Fantasy Romance
- Language: a little
- Romance: one low explicit open door
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: witnessing a lot of humanities crimes, attempted sexual assault, loss of life
