I loved the characters. Theo turned out to be such a spunky, genuine soul and I loved her. Strangely I also really loved Tony even though he was a small part of the story.
I loved the love story and the the fact that they kept finding each other in the new lives they had.
I enjoyed the concept of this story and I found it very intriguing and fascinating.
The vilian was definitely unlikable and the roles were set out really well.
This book was incredibly well written. From beginning to end and I really found it easy to read and follow.
That being said I did have some drawbacks.
I felt the backstory became too much and too long. It was a lot of information to take in.
This was an absolute beast of a book and I feel some things could have been dramatically shortened.
If you are a slow burn lover then this would be perfect for you.

So many emotions, full of darkness but also hope. The visual narrative was fantastic and so descriptive it really allowed me to see the scenes unfolding. The feeling of hope kept me going but the book was very long and drawn out and it was a struggle to get to the end.

I liked this book, it wasn't a bad read at all. The plot was good, I just wish there was more character development on the main two characters. I love how the authors touched base on mental health and how to help your partner when they are going through it. I wanted more on the relationship between them than the past lives.

I got this book on kindle first as the Author had commented on a video where I had stated I loved things set way back in time. Then, only after a little bit of reading did I realize I would need the physical copy, so I purchased that as well.
This book spans multiple historical points and is done so in a fabulous manner!
It's a supernatural thriller that follows the journey of a couple that shares multiple life times of love.
The historical references, the journeys and even down to the settings during those particular times was vivid and spot on.
I loved traveling to Transylvania, London, Egypt, Siberia and more in the epic journey.
I highly recommend you grab this book, snuggle in and enjoy the journey

I really didn’t know what to expect when I started this book, other than that it looked epic. Epic is an understatement… it is beyond anything I could have imagined. The storytelling is phenomenal, with so many beautiful details you fall in love with every single character. It leaves you wanting more and I cannot wait for book 2!

The story is from the POV of Theo & Auryn living in Australia. The storyline concentrates on their past lives and reincarnation of being basically soulmates finding and losing each other each lifetime (not be confused with romance troupes this just a dark fantasy). In each life they fight a dark enemy only to be killed only to do it again. There is a timeline of weaving through the past and present to explain more and more about the characters as well as their enemy. Theo was very realistic and the writing spoke of dealing with depression. Auryn a very amazing character because though he was a male he didn't have the toxic masculinity as you see in a lot male fantasy characters... he was able to talk about and embrace his insecurities without overly trying to compensate. There's a few mental health issues brought up in the story that makes this book relatable though it's fantasy from depression, eating disorders, and anxiety. There's very detailed history aspects to this book and as you read you can see the research and effort that was put into the writing this amazing story.
The flow of the story was smooth and as a reader who reads somewhat faster I appreciated the length of the book being longer. This is a dark fantasy and I actually enjoyed reading it. The chapters had so much details that really enthralled you and it was very much appreciated with all the historical research to write this book. As a person not big on fantasy I was definitely impressed by this book...from the artwork of the cover, to the plot, to the ending. An amazing start to a series if you ask me.

I couldn't get into this one at all. I almost wanted to stop reading it many times but kept pushing through it.

This book took me a couple of re reads and talks with the author who is so great in answering questions and offering suggestions when I was I admit lost.
It was a perfect blend of modern day angst and past life experiences. I liked that the MCs weren't your straight forward heroes and that you got to see glimpses of their past lives, made you love them more realising they had flaws even if they couldn't always remember them in your everyday context but instead in dreams and nightmares.
Thank you to the Authors for the Arc in exchange for this review.
