A beautifully written book. I absolutely enjoyed everything about it. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

What an amazing and enchanting read!!I was hooked from the first page!The slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers dynamic between Rua and Finn, Lord of Donore, was exceptionally well done. Their chemistry crackled on the page, and their witty banter kept me hooked. As Rua’s memories began to surface, and the story ventured into ancient secrets and dark magic, I found myself completely absorbed. Gonzalez’s writing made it easy to feel like I was stepping into the 1870s, and her mythological elements added a sense of timelessness that elevated the plot.

For anyone who enjoys historical romances with a touch of fantasy—especially fans of Outlander or myth-inspired fiction—The Gods Time Forgot is a must-read. It has intrigue, a well-paced romance, and a vibrant historical setting that made it hard to put down.

Thank you NetGalley for ARC. The God Time Forgot by Kelsie Sheridan presents an intriguing premise, where Rua, the main character, finds herself in the body of Emma and is forced to adopt Emma’s persona or face the consequence of being sent to an asylum. The novel offers an interesting blend of romance and fantasy, but I had mixed feelings about the overall execution.
First, the love story between Rua and the other main character was one of the book's strongest elements. The romance felt genuine, with a lot of chemistry between them. I enjoyed watching the relationship unfold, and it was certainly a highlight of the story.
but instead, she often made decisions and behaved in ways that seemed completely out of character for Emma. This inconsistency was frustrating, as it felt like Rua was frequently breaking the rules of the world she was inhabiting. Instead of trying to blend in and act like Emma, she often embarrassed herself and her family, which felt repetitive and tiresome after a while. It seemed like there could have been more tension or conflict without having to make Rua act so recklessly, which detracted from the emotional depth of the story.Additionally, there were elements of the plot, such as unnecessary killings, that felt forced.

I love Irish mythology, so I was immediately drawn to this story. Bonus points that the cover is absolutely stunning.

Manhatten 1870s - Rua doesn't know who she is, all she remembers is crawling out from the ground in the woods. When she's mistaken for someone else and finds herself thrust into high society, she begins to remember a different time, a time of magic and gods and guardians and alongside, Finn, an Irish immigrant, she sets out to learn the truth about her past.

I really loved the premise of this and the dual POV. While the pacing felt slower at times and the ending did seem a tad abrupt, I still felt fairly attached to Rua and Finn and I really enjoyed this overall.

Read this if:
- you love historical romance and Bridgerton vibes
- you enjoy forbidden/star crossed love and enemies to lovers who are just drawn to one another
- Irish mythology
- Dual POV

Many thanks to Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez, Alcove Press, and Netgalley for an sharing an E-ARC of this book with me.

Basic premise is that in 1870, socialite Emma Harrington finds herself in an underground cave, and when she comes out she does not believe herself to be Emma, but someone names Rua. She has dreams and visions of herself in mythological times as a ruthless warrior and killing her true love. And then there is Lord Finn Donore, a wealthy Irish immigrant, trying to get into the upper crust. He’s supposed to be courting his boss’s daughter, but the minute he sees Emma, he’s instantly attracted to her, despite her bad reputation. He also starts having dreams about he and Rua together in the past.

The book talks a lot about Irish Gods and Goddesses (which I only knew existed thanks to the old Hercules TV show). Most of the book is Rua in high society situations that no one wants her at, dealing with an abusive mother who basically sees her bad reputation as bad for her own social standing, and trying to stop her attraction to Finn. We learn about the Irish Gods from Rua’s maid, Mara, who taught her about them and worships them.

The ending seemed very rushed to me, and I felt there should have been some consequences that just never happened.

3 stars for an interesting concept, but the story bored me for the most part.

The first half of this book really hooked me. Flossie and Annette were delightfully awful, Rua and Finn's banter had me grinning, and the promise of New York politics had me greatly intrigued. Rua in particular is very fun—I enjoy the archetype of "woman who can't stop mouthing off despite the consequences", and the narrative doesn't shy away from consequences. But the fantasy elements and their past lives never quite worked for me, and as that plotline crescendoed in the second half, I found myself more often baffled than intrigued.

I wasn't convinced of this as enemies to lovers. Finn is sympathetic to Rua from the start. Rua insists she dislikes him because... well it was never actually clear to me why she disliked him. She seemed to get worked up over how rude and dismissive he was when he'd said fairly normal things by my reading, and despite the fact that he was also—by her own admission—the only person who was nice to her at these events. She'd say one moment she was glad he was gone because he so clearly dislikes her and then get mad when he said something merely implying polite disinterest. All the while, both of them feel the magnetic pull of their past lives that keeps them seeking each other out.

The New York plot and the fantasy plot never quite combine into a single coherent story. As a result, the emotions and motivations of the characters are increasingly muddled as the story goes on. This could have been an interesting tension point, where the characters have to reconcile their past and present selves' different points of view with their current circumstances. But the book's forays into this sort of conflict are infrequent and short lived, as their past lives almost exclusively reinforce the things they already believe. It ESPECIALLY reinforces the part where these characters are in love.

So instead of internal conflict, you get scenes where Finn goes, "well, I love her now, and I loved her then. Can I trust her?" with no connective tissue to make that last thought land. Instead of Rua thinking about her budding affection for Finn as a complication to the life she feels like she must get back to she...thinks about the magic plotline, and thinks about Finn, both completely separately.

The book was at its strongest with the petty New York class politics, which has some pretty compelling arguments for keeping them apart (Finn has business contracts to protect, and Rua's not actually who she says she is, both of them are new money outsiders). But it spends so much of its focus on the fantasy element and pretending the characters are enemies that I never grasped many of the stakes for Finn. All we get are vague euphemisms like "Richard opens doors around the city" and "Finn's projects" but nothing really about what these projects are, what they mean to him or why Richard, specifically, is necessary. He's wealthy without Richard. He's funding an orphanage already (which is the beginning but not the end of his fabled projects). He loses access to... Ned? Maybe? Surely if he married Ned's daughter Rua he'd keep access to Ned.

I think had this been a romance without the fantastical elements, I would've enjoyed it a lot. The characters are great, and the main couple is great together. Everything about Annette's antics were stressful in the best possible way. Flossie made me clench my jaw whenever she was on the page. Every single party scene was fun! But the end result just didn't work well for me.

While I'm here, justice for Mara.

Thank you to Alcove Press and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Tropes:

😠 Enemies-to-lovers
📜 Set in 1870s
🇮🇪 Irish folklore

What a wild ride. I have never read anything like this before and I am hooked. The story begins with Rua being stuck in a hole and having no recollection of her memories or herself. But, apparently she is called Emma (or what people thought she is) who is born to the rich Harrington family and therefore, had to pretend to be this so-called daughter to find out the truth of who she is. The mystery got thicker when she experiences flashbacks that seem to be the memories of her past and that of a lover.

When she moved from her hometown to Manhattan, she met an Irish businessman, Finn, who wants to build his name and reputation in the lands of America. When I say the tension and slow burn between this two is burning, I mean it - the chemistry was off the charts! In every single scene they appear together, I kept curling my toes and holding my breath because you just don’t know what they’re going to do. I love their relationship so much - the banter and the yearning. Not to mention the drama that shakes their relationship where Finn is torn between Rua and another daughter from an influential family. He has to choose to follow, either, his heart or his mind.

To spice things up even more, it seems like Rua and Finn are intertwined in some way in their past and I really am intrigued with this Irish folklore stuff that Rua is researching about to figure out the truth. Although the ending is a bit abrupt in my opinion, the story as a whole was amazing and captivating that it made me not want to put the book down.

P.S. Thank you to NetGalley, Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez and Alcove Press for the ARC!

I had such high hopes for this one. This is more historical fiction with hints of fantasy.

It starts with a bang but it slows down and drags on. The last 15% was not bad where it picks up but it abruptly ends.

I kept wishing there was more fantasy elements woven throughout and a deeper dive into Rua to keep the intrigue alive.

If you enjoy a slow-burn historical narrative with just a sprinkle of magic, this might work for you.

The beginning of this book had a lot of potential with Rua waking up not remembering anything. She claims the life of Emma Harrington and is thrust into the gilded age society of New York. The Harringtons are desperately trying to break into the upper class society, and Emma is not helping their cause. This creates a lot of tension for Rua and those around her. The one person who might save Rua from the wrath of her family is Finn, a dashing and eligible Lord who should be promised to another.

I really thought there was going to be more fantasy in this book as it was marketed as a historical romantasy. Instead, readers only get the real fantasy aspect of this novel in the last quarter of the book. This would have been fine if the rest of the story was strong in either the setting, the characters, or the plot. However, everything about this book felt surface level. The setting was just a backdrop with little influence except the mean girl politics of the characters, and the plot dragged. The only portion of the novel I enjoyed was the banter between Finn and Rua, but even this grew tiresome as he continually flip flopped between what he wanted and what he should do to fit in with society. I didn't feel that there was a strong villain either, which made me wonder where the plot was going for a majority of the book.

I feel that people who like Bridgerton and the historical politics/romance of that series will enjoy this.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Alcove Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I know very little about Irish mythology, but mythology in general is one of my favorite things to learn about. So when I saw The Gods Time Forgot up on Netgalley, with that very interested synopsis, and that very beautiful cover, I thought I'd take a shot and requested it. Thankfully, Alcove Press pretty much instantaneously approved me, and I dived right in.

This book is written beautifully. I absolutely loved how fiery Rua was, how done she was with "polite society" rules, and being "accepted" into the higher classes. She wanted nothing to do with these people, and she basically let them know it. The Gods Time Forgot has a very interesting premise, one that I didn't really catch on to what was happening until about 75% of the way through. I had <i>inklings</i> but there was enough going on that I wasn't sure.

Finn was not as widely explored as Rua, unfortunately. I do wish we had learned more about his life before he was The Lord of Donore, and how he came to be. It's sort of handwaved at the end, but I was very interested in him. Even before we know who he is.

The romance is well done, in my opinion. There's enough steam, enough chemistry there that it's entirely believable. They sort of pick at each other to start, and then they really do fall in love. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them fall for each other.

My one beef with The Gods Time Forgot is that it ends SO abruptly. The last chapter reads like there's going to be at least another few to follow, but nope. It just sort of...ends. I really would have loved to follow Rua and Finn as they figured out life together, but nope. We don't get to see that. I wouldn't even really say that it's a true happy ending. It ends before we get to see them happy, which really hurt how I feel about this book. If it had ended appropriately, The Gods Time Forgot would have easily been 5 stars for me. Instead, it's dropped down to a four star read. Still good, but not great.

I'd still recommend this book, especially if you're a fantasy-romance lover with an interest in mythology. Just go into it knowing the ending is a bit disappointing.

4.5 stars! This story is what you get when you combine Irish mythology, historical romance, and a dash of mystery. I really enjoyed this! There is so much chemistry between the fiery FMC and swoon worthy MMC, who are connected on a deep level that they don't fully understand (at first.) The tension & yearning between them was palpable. This was incredibly well written, however, I feel as though the ending was too abrupt. I desperately wish there had been an epilogue because I was NOT ready for the story to end so suddenly. Will there be another book?? I would definitely be interested in reading it, if so. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

Irish mythology and Gilded Age premise was so promising. I liked various elements of this book, but things didn't feel layered enough to justify the snail's pace. The 3rd person POV was distracting at times. I did enjoy the characters and things finally picked up in the last 50 pages or so but it felt rushed.

Uuuuh, so sad to say I struggled with this. Everything after the first 30% was a struggle.

We start off well - I was captivated by the opening - who is Rua? What really happened to Emma? What is going on?

And then we end up in high society and our main characters meet and... almost everything grinds to a halt. The biggest problem with the book is the pacing and then the abrupt ending. And slight problems with the characters. As much as I liked Rua at times, at times I was frustrated with her.

I'm sad because this turned out to be something completely different from what I expected by the description and even the beginning of the book.

I like how the story flowed, although in some parts of the chapters it threw me off a bit and it was a weird setting. For example, the flash backs to the story were in the chapter and the characters had a moment where they “zoned out” and remembered their past. Interesting set up but a touch weird.

The beginning of the story did feel a bit confusing and a little boring, but as the story progressed it became very interesting. I was a little spooked by the Irish mythology to do with the “Hellmouth” mentioned in the story. But it was very interesting and I love reading about mythology woven into stories.

““𝑹𝒖𝒂,” 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆. 𝑨 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆. 𝐑𝐮𝐚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝒊𝒏 𝑰𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉.”

I absolutely loved how sweet Finn was. And of course there’s another Finn to add to the list of fav love interests 😅

I’m not too sure if this will be a duology or not but the way this title ended left questions. It cannot end just like how it did surely? If so, that was a very weak ending - sweet, but weak.

Overall, I enjoyed this debut novel and I’d love to see more from this author! Beautifully written and I loved the historical romance themes.

Thank you NetGalley and Alcove Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review, I enjoyed reading this title.

4/5 ⭐️

This was an okay historical romance that was very light on the magic, despite the synopsis.

The opening was promising, with the FMC POV setting up the mystery and conflict for the novel, but the plot slowed to a glacial pace through the middle. I didn't connect with any of the characters and found it hard to buy into the mystery aspect when the FMC didn't seem too interested in investigating the mystery. The MMC was better and more dynamically fleshed out, but I really couldn't comprehend the supposed instant attraction between the MMC and FMC... upon first meeting her, he accuses her of being a prostitute but their eyes lock and they couldn't look away from each other!!! The ending picked up pace considerably, but the ending was extremely abrupt. It didn't seem like the author was setting up the novel to be a series, but it really felt like a chapter was missing.

I kept waiting for the magic aspects to surface, but it was very minimal. The plot seemed to be stuck in a never ending loop of the FMC overhearing something about her at a party, causing a scene at the party, and the MMC rescuing her. The prose was straightforward, but there was a lot of telling and little showing. This is a debut novel for the author, however.

Overall, I think this just wasn't for me, but I could imagine folks who are interested in Gilded Age setting and era-appropriate social aspects might enjoy this book.

Thank you, Alcove Press, for the arc!

2.5 rounded up

There were threads of interesting ideas, but unfortunately they never came together. This novel lacked any sort of nuance, leading events to become incredibly repetitive. I also found the dialogue unbelievable at times, turning characters into more caricatures than anything else.

The high society politics, which took up a bulk of the plot, had no real stakes. They started out hating her and kept hating her with no real threat of her not having more opportunities to be hated. They were mean, she lashed out, they were mean, etc.

The gods plot never really took off in a satisfying way. I wanted to root for the romance, but again the reasons to stay apart were extremely repetitive that by the end I didn’t care.

I do appreciate the nods to Irish mythology and the cover is stunning. I wish I had liked this more than I did.

Thank you to NetGalley and Alcove Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Outlander meets Bridgerton Season 2 in this slow burn (so slow, so burn-y) historical romance that highlights Irish folklore in New York in the 1800s. In addition to the mystery about who our female main character really is and how she found herself in New York in 1870, I enjoyed the dual POV and the creative spin on the Morrigan. I also appreciated how Gonzalez touched on elite privilege and hypocrisy through Rua's frustration with society's expectations of her, her fierce pushback, and the social repercussions (which were severe). Some witty romantic banter between the two main characters helped balance the darker parts of the book as well. The end definitely set us up for an exciting sequel as well!

I really wanted to like this book. The synopsis sounded very intriguing - Outlander meets the gilded age of New York with Irish mythology and goddesses; but right off the bat, it fell flat for me. I usually like to give books a few chapters to see if it meshes well with me as a reader, and this one did not. The writing is in third person, which makes the entire story very clunky and hard to connect to our MC, in her amnesia-ridden confusion. As I read more, I couldn't find myself particularly caring what was going to happen next or who she truly was. Sadly, this led to me deciding this book was not for me and I DNFed it.

This was a really good book for those who like historical, fantasy, or romance novels!! It had quite a bit of mystery and myth in it as well. I really loved Rua’s characterization and dialogue.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez for providing me with an ARC of The Gods Time Forgot in exchange for my honest review.

Set in the gilded age of New York (1870), The Gods Time Forgot introduces readers to Rua, a compelling female protagonist who wakes up in the woods with no memory of who she is. Mistaken for Emma Harrington, the daughter of a wealthy and influential family, Rua is suddenly thrust into the glittering — and treacherous — world of Manhattan high society. As she tries to piece together her identity, she must also navigate her new role within the Harrington family. Enter Finn, the enigmatic Lord of Denore, an Irish nobleman who is the target of every socialite’s ambitions. Despite her lost memories, Rua feels an inexplicable connection to him, and the story follows her journey of self-discovery and intrigue.

This book is a unique blend of Irish mythology and high-society historical fiction. The seamless fusion of these two elements creates a rich, immersive narrative that feels fresh and original. Rua is a standout protagonist — strong, fierce, and intelligent — qualities that defy societal expectations of women in this era. Her interactions with the world around her are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining.

The story is filled with unexpected twists, keeping you guessing until the end. The romance is masterfully done, offering a satisfying slow burn between two compelling characters. Finn is swoon-worthy, and his banter with Rua is one of the highlights of the book, leaving you eager for more.

I devoured this novel in a single day and can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy once it’s released. Fans of historical romance and romantasy will adore The Gods Time Forgot. With Outlander and Bridgerton-esque vibes, this book is a must-read for those who love immersive settings, complex characters, and a touch of myth and magic.
