Alex Williams's Reviews

This review contains spoilers. Nice quick read. I like the characters of Fiona and Polly. Did not really like prince Orthaniel or Dolph the dog/sacred beasts. Orthaniel is straight up trash to begin with, but his redemption is a little better then other male leads in the genre. Dolph is also trash frankly and by far my least favorite character in the story. He can control time so he is responsible for the time loops. I don't like how he thinks of Fiona as a pet. He claims to want her to find happiness but doesn't reveal himself or really do anything until her 8th life. Allowing her to endure and suffer through 7 previous lives and deaths. It's like he is punishing her for not taking him with her until the 8th life. Even then he only gives her a partial blessing. He also only acts to save her life when she expresses her desire to not have any further loops because she probably won't have a better life then the current one. There are 2 scenes i did really like in the story. The first is when Dolph reveals to Orthaniel that Fiona has been through 7 previous lives and that Orthaniel was responsible for her death in most of them. The second is one I mentioned previously where Fiona tells Dolph that she doesn't want to have any further loops as she doesn't think any future ones will be as good as the current one. Probably would have been disappointed if i had purchased it separately and it wasn't available through premium.
