Maybe I'll return in the future. It's a beautiful book but I was so bored and lost interest.

I cannot even force myself to pick this back up. It's the most unrelatable travel book I've personally ever read. Not worth it to finish the last hundred pages.

This is like 3 different half books thrown into one. The beginning was giving Bridgerton, the middle a cozy fantasy and the end was a rushed fantasy/thriller. I wish the author would have taken more time with editing and fleshed out some world building and broke this up into at least two novels.
