There is beauty in knowing who you are, and in embracing that in spite of the potential consequences” Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart. I should mention that I spent the first 30% of this book thinking booktok had bamboozled me AGAIN, because it was just kind of meh for me, but once shit ( finally) hit the fan I was H O O K E D. & then I figured out where Adelaide/Harper was going with this, and I had that moment. I absolutely loved the worldbuilding. It was well described, many details and the things we find about the fae and their world are really interesting. My fate is bonded to two princes– one born of blood, the other of power— but my trust lies in neither.
Because throughout the story, part of what made it so great for me, was that while Estrella was in the dark–the reader is just along for the ride, knowing full well what’s in store for her.Because the one and only man I’d ever allowed to touch me had turned into a pile of snow when he tried to kill me. It was safe to say, my vagina was unfortunately off limits.” The relationship was all over the place due to shoving other peoples works on them. I hated it. It wasn’t natural, it was messy and forced. The veil is there for a reason, mankind is not ready to go beyond what they know as Truth, because most use their minds rather than their Hearts.
As much as I wanted to like "What Lies Beyond the Veil" by Harper L. Woods, I have to give it a 2-star review. While the book's concept was intriguing, the world's layout and magical system were fantastic. But, in my opinion, the execution fell short. IT GOT A LITTLE MORE interesting with some new characters introduced later in the book. But it still wasn’t enough for me. There was an especially misogynistic characters introduced, and I think the point was to emphasize feminism by giving Estrella a chance to stand up for herself, but all these conversations just made me cringe so much. if you are looking for a new fantasy book where humans are at the mercy of the fae and a romance is influenced by a bond, then this is everything you will want! its predictable, but entertaining. which is exactly what i expected this to be. Caelum: “You’re perfect just as you are, Little One, stumbling on awkward legs and horrible sense of direction included. I could spend the rest of the night telling you about all the parts of you that I would never allow anyone to change,” In the beginning I was so angry with what was happening and what this girl had to endure, but it only got more exciting after the Veil fell.I’m not wearing any trousers.” “And that is the problem. I like my intestines in my stomach and not shoved into my lungs.” I mean those are all really great plot points!! But we never get anywhere with them in this first book :(
Great Deal
