I'm a huge fan of short stories / novellas, but this one took both some time to get into and more time to finish than expected. In fact this book almost entered my DNF list in the first 30 pages, I had all but given up and then google led me to the reason why I felt this book was strange and that was due to the different writing styles of multiple authors. Due to the unusualness of this I persevered and I'm so glad I did, what would have been a DNF turned into a 4 star book.

A lovely twisted story of romance, time travel, war and fantasy. Written in a “she said, she said” (I guess) style that is strange at first but turns out to be really beautiful. Persevere through this and you will be rewarded with a great read and an ending wanting you to read more.
