I am a big fan of Alix E. Harrow! I have loved the author’s last three books! Granted, this is a novella, but it still counts. Since this is a novella, I’m keeping this short and sweet. All you really need to know is that you need to read this!

I think Harrow did an amazing job getting her points across with a short amount of pages. From the very beginning, I was into it. It’s a love story and how love endures. It’s also heartbreaking when everything comes to light. Harrow blends different periods flawlessly. I thought we were in medieval times with the knight and nods to an apocalyptic future. It’s thought-provoking, which I was not expecting! I thought this would be a cute little fantasy story, but it’s so much more than that.

I highly recommend this little novella! It has a lot to offer and think about. I am such a fan of Harrow’s work and can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!!

Thank you to Amazon Original Stories and Netgalley for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
