I preferred the fantasy part of this story, but in the last half or so, it seemed war was the bigger focus. Still, I did enjoy it and I adore many of the characters. It ends in the middle of the story, so I went straight into Ruthless Vows, which I'm still reading now. I much more prefer the style of Dreams Lie Beneath, though.
Content: War violence, mild/moderate profanity (though no strong language was used, at least by US standards), one open door sex scene, though not detailed...I'd compare the level of detail to what I've read of Juliet Marillier so far. I prefer none at all, but this is about the max I'll tolerate.
I adore this series and think they all deserve 5 stars, but this one was probably my least favorite of them all. It was shocking, to say the least.

It shows that despite Flavia's brilliant mind and maturity in many ways, she's still so innocent in others.

I've read some books by this author in the past and enjoyed them, but this is my favorite so far. I love that each of the books revolve around a poet. This one takes place in the summer and the next in the fall. I don't know yet if I'll wait for fall or not. I'd love for the atmospheres to match, but I want to know what happens next.
Something about this cover pulled me in, but I'm glad it did. It was a light read while touching on tougher topics, too. I'm excited to try more from Something about this cover pulled me in, but I'm glad it did. It was a light read while touching on tougher topics, too. I'm excited to try more from this author.
Content: off screen sex...I can't remember now if there was any profanity, but if there was, it was mild.

I simply adored Libby and her relationship with her mother. I didn't overly like Libby's love interest, but he somewhat grew on me by the end. I read it while I was having a tough time and the faith content greatly helped me. The faith portion is superb and the writing is lovely. The time travel part is creatively done, too. It was hard to read at times and tears were shed, but it's one I think I'll reread in the future. I'm looking forward to the next one, which I'm currently waiting for at the library.
This is cozy fantasy at its best. I adore the characters and the artwork is beautiful. At this point I've read all 3 of the published ones. The story This is cozy fantasy at its best.

I do wish there wasn't strong profanity in this author's books and I'd try to read them all. I plan to stop with this one, though.

This is a book I wish I'd read with a book club. It just had my mind thinking back and forth about what actually happened when I finished reading it. This is a book I wish I'd read with a book club. It just had my mind thinking back and forth about what actually happened when I finished reading it. It was hard/sad to read at times, since the main character has dementia/Alzheimer's. (I don't remember if it said so specifically). Still, I enjoyed it and I kept reading wanting to know what happened. I plan on reading more books by this author, but it's the type of book that I need breaks between, like lighter read afterwards.
When I went to add tags to this book, I realized I don't have a clue how to classify it. It's not really a thriller and it's for sure not a romance. IWhen I went to add tags to this book, I realized I don't have a clue how to classify it. It's not really a thriller and it's for sure not a romance. It was fascinating to read and I think I finished it in a day. It's stuck in my mind, though I can't say in a good way. It's scary that you truly don't know what's going on in people's minds. It's just made me think about things within it even weeks later. I don't intend to re-read it, because the sexual content was much more than I care for. Though, overall, I found it fascinating, I just can't say I loved it.
I adored this book! Since it's a stand alone, I tried it first before reading other books by this author. I have high hopes of her being a favorite noI adored this book! Since it's a stand alone, I tried it first before reading other books by this author. I have high hopes of her being a favorite now. I'm currently reading Divine Rivals and greatly enjoying it. This is a lovely story. Though the romance is sweet, it was a friendship that develops that warmed my heart more and brought tears to my eyes.
