This was such a great book! I loved every second of it. The combination of magic and a forever kind of love is always a big hit for me. The writing is descriptive but without exaggerating, it transports you and makes you forget reality for a while. It has different POVs but it never gets confusing. It’s such a creative story, even more so once you read the author’s notes. I have already recommended this book to every single bookish friend I have; is not a usual thing that you get so lost into a book.

The Alchemist of Aleppo is an intriguing time-travel/reincarnation story about a medieval glass artist of extraordinary talent. He becomes enamored of the dark arts so common to the era and creates a process he believes is a blessing but becomes a curse. The curse follows him and the others for whom he used the process down through centuries.
Overall, I felt the story pacing was slowed by the repeated references to dreams and unresolved anxieties. When certain reincarnated personalities met again there was instant recognition and I found that somewhat unbelievable too. However, the book was entertaining and the historical aspect of the story was believable enough.
Thank you Marie K Savage and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Michael and Kat are haunted by a past they don’t understand and drawn together by mysterious circumstances that will make you question the nature of love, death, and the eternal consequences of one man’s choice. This standalone novel has beautifully written prose and a tight plot that drives toward a satisfying conclusion. Atmospheric and well-researched.

Loved this book. Not my usual genre, but I really enjoyed it. I was not sure what to expect, but it is well written, and the storyline really drew me in. It is set over eight centuries, and each era has its characters. The concept was excellent and in the end I could not put it down. I loved the main characters in the present day, who brought such colour and intrigue to the storyline. The next time I am in London I well certainly be heading to the V&A to see ‘The Luck of Edenhall.’

The Alchemist of Aleppo was such an intriguing blend of fantastical elements along with mystery and romance, it kept me hooked from the beginning. I wasn't exactly sure how much I would like the reincarnation/tied to past lives element of the story since I'm not usually a big fan of them but they worked so well with this story and were so interesting and fun! I really liked the characters and the different plot lines that followed along with the main one, all of which were tied up together in the end. Overall, a really fun and intriguing read that I definitely recommend!

A gorgeously written mystery that combines timelines and cultures across centuries.
Beautifully written characters and good pacing that keeps you invested from beginning to end.
I really enjoyed the glimpses into the past, piecing together the mystery of the Luck of Edenhall and the slow burn romance.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

I loved the way this showed different centuries in this story, it had that element that I wanted and enjoyed the overall feel of this. Marie K. Savage has a strong writing style and enjoyed the overall feel of this. It had that element that I was looking for and was glad everything worked together to tell the story.
