I was curious about the title and was glad to read a bit of it. Unfortunately, it’s not for me. I wasn’t into the way it starts and didn’t really like the most likely love interest connection that probably happens down the line. It moved too slow with ideas I wasn’t really interested in. So, this one’s a pass for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

Thank you Netgalley for the PREVIEW.

It was such a tease into something much bigger. Thank you for giving us a brief glimpse into the world. I need more!!!

This preview has me wanting the book as soon as possible. I’m drawn in by the world that is created and also am intrigued by the protagonist.

I loved this preview of this book! I was initially drawn in from the cover but this preview is making me want the whole book!
Our main character Kai, I'm interested as to what we will find out about her...how did she get there? Who is she? It's giving me The maze runner vibes of being dropped in an unknown land!
I definitely feel like this is going to be a page turner and I'm looking forward to ordering the book to read - I've already seen some stunning sprayed edge editions!!

The preview sounds super promising! Im really into an adventures plot with a badass FMC! I cant wait to purchase the book and dive into whats next!

Only six chapters in and I'm hooked! The story is really interesting so far. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. The world building is already amazing. If you like fantasy books then this is for you. I definitely recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for allowing me to read a preview of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Immediately headed of to go and download the full book.

The writing is really easy reading, it flows well and the characters and storyline are intriguing.
The front cover is also stunning so top marks for that, need this one on my bookshelf for display.

I am so enthralled with the book so far. I instantly went straight to Amazon to download the full story after I finished the preview. I just kept trying to guess and make up scenarios the whole time I have been reading, loving how it's keeping me on my toes with the little bit of knowledge breadcrumbs here and there. I can't wait to read more about Kai and Jadon after their instant connection.

I received this “preview” of the first six chapters on NetGalley.
I won’t be finishing the book.

Memory loss and miscommunication tropes right from page one?
It’s a no from me.
There is very little when it comes to world building, so no getting sucked into the setting.
The FMC has no idea who she is, so you can’t get sucked into her.
Miscommunication so you don’t even want to.

I don’t know if I could have possibly thought up a worse way to start a book. I mean, no world, no main character and no plot?

Where the preview leaves you, the FMC has been beaten, stripped, left for dead, attacked, nearly jailed (implied SA/torture/etc would happen in said jail) and is now going to work around farms and town to pay off a debt that isn’t hers.
She’s “powerful, build bigger, so strong” but is bested repeatedly by sick and dying people.
So 6 chapters in and FMC only had vague ideas about who she might be.

I think this book would have been stronger if there was a prologue to ground the story before starting the whole memory loss/miscommunication thing

Oh this preview has me hooked already! I love the writing style and I'm really interested to see where the story goes. Definitely going to read the rest of this

I preordered this way ahead of time and was excited to see this as read now…but don’t realize it was just a preview (my own fault…it was marked clearly). The preview is promising, and I can’t wait to finish it.

There did not seem to be a lot going on. It was so slow and nothing was really happening.
After reading the preview I think that I will give the book a miss.

This preview was spot on what I was looking for so cant wait to get my hands on the full book. This is going to be one epic story.

I need to pay more attention because I was so sad to realize this was a preview! xD Great lead in and I desperately want to read this now.

First, the cover of this book is so pretty! I love it. Secondly, that first line is so good!

This preview was really good at sucking you in. I love Olivia. I think she will be a fun character overall. I’m curious about Jadan. What is his deal? He’s seems nice though. I like him. And then our main character. I love her feistiness. I want to know who and/or what she is so bad! Why was she dropped here? Why doesn’t she have memories? What is her connection to Kiavara? And who is the mysterious town lady who talked in her head? Also there’s a dog that I just know our main character will win over at some point.
I’m excited to read the full book.

An interesting look at a fantasy world. Since the main character has amnesia, this was a very confusing start to the book, but I can tell there will be a lot to learn about Kai and also the world she has found herself in as the book goes on.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a Preview for this book.
Sadly, this is a no for me. The premise is interesting, our FMC suffers from amnesia and doesn’t know where, when or even what she is, and is directly thrown into trouble in the neighbouring town after being robbed.
The writing style is simply not up my alley, with words often repeating itself and sentence structure being flimsy most of the times. Also, I immodestly disliked the FMC and the MMC which makes it especially hard to concentrate on the story; there seems to be an immediate attraction from this handsome tall guy; while she is dirty and caked up in literal shit and everybody else around her thinks that she is really not pretty? It just didn’t work for me, which is unfortunate considering the unique starting point of the novel which cought my eye in the first place.

Im intrigued ! Thank you Netgalley for this preview. The first few chapters build the world up so wonderfully. Im excited to read more from Rachel, her writing is so refreshing.

I really loved the sneak peak of this book.
I think it has a lot to give and it will be very unique.
It is definitely a buy for me.

I've been going back and forth about this book on whether or not I wanted to read it so when I saw the preview I didn't hesitate to request it and immediately start reading it on my commute into work. I think the first couple pages that are given show a good projection of what the book will be and it has piqued my interest but I don't know if it is enough to make me want to go out and purchase the book to continue reading like other previews on here have in the past. I think the concept is interesting and the characters show potential but not enough in the first 60 pages that I can gives a full review of my predictions. However it was nice to read on my commute which does make me lean towards going out to buy the book or at least getting it from the library to continue reading it. I have heard a lot of good things and just think that it will take more time for me to get invested than the pages I was given.
