I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

I really loved this book so much!! Connecting both the old and new Japan and the tales from the prince and the forbidden romance in this story was well observed between a prince and a normal lowly cast person or peasant but yet both of them tried the ultimate best to come together though the ending I didn't expect at all, fusao nearly murdering the prince at an ungodly hour!! It was such a plot twist though very understandable for why he did that!!

This book has a very interesting pov to share the characters stories. While it wasn’t my cup of tea, I’m sure others would enjoy it. It seemed like a fresh way of telling a story.

Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

I truly wanted to love this book. The synopsis was intriguing. Even the two different timelines made sense, however, the pacing is slow. This isn’t a long book and I should’ve had no problem reading it in a couple of days, but every time I thought about reading more of the story I didn’t want to. It was the pacing for me.
