    Slow Dance
    4.5
    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.5Plot: 3.5

    Slow Dance is the love story most of us will never experience. It is longing and pain and hope and destruction. All while being light, a fast read, devastating and beautiful. Cary and Shiloh are the dream of the one true love. They are the romantication of it while being an absolute catastrophe. So much misunderstanding, the odds against them, and still they are drawn to each other.

    I personally do not subscribe to the notion of "true" love but could enjoy the book nonetheless. The way it is told, the flashbacks, are intruiging. While most of the "present day" storyline is set during the span of 2 weeks, the reader dives deep into the lives of the protagonists and gets completely engulfed by their story.

  • Looking for books that blend various Fairy Tales like the TV Show 'Once Upon A Time'

    Hey everyone! I am hoping for some help. I own the first season of Once Upon A Time and was trying to rewatch it but there is some political stuff with one of the main actors, and I am really struggling to separate and actually enjoy everyone else's work in it because of that.

    I know we have a Fairy Tale Retellings quest, but the thing in this series that I loved was the creativity in blending so many stories and iconic characters into one world. So I am specifically looking for books that overlap or blend multiple fairy tales or iconic elements from these tales into a singular story. And if it is a series, preferably ones where the overlap is present in all/most of the books, and not just later on.

    If anyone has any recommendations like that, I'd really appreciate it 🫶

    Though I found the plot very predictable, and the characters stereotypical, I enjoyed the read after the first third. It's not a story which will linger in my mind for an extended amount of time but if you have some time to spare and enjoy easy to read fantasy, go for it!
