this one just didn't hold me like the others did. I kind of liked the story, but found myself getting bored easily .I didn't remember all the characters, so I spent some time trying to remember the story and who everyone was. I think that was a huge drawback ~ that alone, none of these books stand well (no real back-story) except, of course, book #1 (which is still my fav.). But, the love story was still cute at times, but also made me roll my eyes on occasion. ( )

“I’ll love you with all my heart, in every life, through every death. I
will not be bound by anything but my love for you.”

“Every single lifetime, I'll choose you.
Just as you have always chosen me. Forever.” ( )

Finally, The discovery of the beginning of this curse. I won't spoil it for anyone. This has been so far my least favorite, even though we finally got somewhere with the storyline. I just felt some got a bit repetitive, and it will pull me out of the story. But 3 stars for me isn't bad, I still like the book enough and still had fun reading it. ( )

I don't really think this book needed to exist. I think this book is a terrible book that had no reason to exist, but instead this book just exist to do time travel shenanigans. A thing that I am not fond of in general and thus this book is superfluous in my eyes.

It's kind of a hybrid between a clip show and let's explain the plot that we skipped over explaining in the last two books kind of thing. Lucine gets to go back through time and see all of her past lives and see all of the time she spent with her beloved Daniel and try and understand how they even came to be together. Sounds reasonable? Right? Yeah, it's not.

Each chapter can be dissected down into a simple sentence Lucina is in a different time, a different location, and hopping place to place. In a picture book this would be really pretty but kind of useless. Here it's really just... description porn? It's there to tell us all about the world around her but I don't care about her, and I don't care about her world so I don't know what the point of it is. Like congratulations you're now in jerusalem? I don't care.

In a odd way this book whitewashes the characters because in past lives they were not White characters they were different races and depending on the life that she views she sees them as a different ethnicity. I never really expected that. But we get to find out Lucina and Daniel were once colored people.

The most confusing part probably has to be that she was alive and times when baptism didn't exist so why is baptism the thing that lets her come back to life when clearly she was around before it? It's little things like that to stand out to me.

At one point it's World war one or two and Daniel meets her and she's 13 and he doesn't return her feelings until she's of age. Ew. I don't want to think about that. "Young and lovely, innocent and saucy." *Gags into my own mouth*
That's actually in the book!? Gross!

This book, because of the time travel, automatically gets really messed up and doesn't make any sense - like when she enters the past, he should have memories of seeing her in the past, but he doesn't. There's a lot of little things like that that I can't overlook. I can barely overlook the fact that Daniel is a massive narcissistic abuser and this book makes it so obvious that he is not a good match for her. I don't even like her, and I don't want her to be with Daniel. This relationship has been doomed by this book. This one book alone shows that he is a narcissist and an abusive man and should not be with her.

Daniel doesn't love lucina, he loves the relationship he has with her. And. Whenever she tries to change her looks, change her hair, do anything she wants, he gets mad because she's altering the relationship.
Disgusting.
