The humor was right up my ally and I found myself thinking the same thing as the character in several instances, which made them very relatable. The world building was great and didn't seem forced like you sometimes see in other books/series. I am very excited to read the next one once it comes out, I am dying to know how the characters address the new situations that they will find themselves in. The only issue that I had with this book is that it sometimes lingered on things slightly too long, I found myself skimming over parts to keep it moving. This was not often so I would never count it as too high of a negative. I have already recommended this book to several people. I'm super excited that I read Between and looking forward to more books in this world. Yes, there were things I wasn't wild about: it's exceedingly slow-paced, there's not even a hint of gratification of the slow-burn romance, it ends on a cliffhanger, and the second half is a retelling of the first half from a different point of view. I loved that point of view, but the thrill of wondering what was coming was lost (plus I had to keep flipping back to find the parallel scenes because so many pages had passed since I had read them).
But even with all that, I loved this book! It made me laugh out loud. The way the characters are described, from eye rolls to sarcastic comebacks, was spot on. The land of Between is fascinating, and I love how even with the bleakness and supposed nastiness of life in Between, there is an undercurrent of kindness and compassion. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
"A bewitching, fiendishly funny cautionary tale about the perils of gatecrashing fairy tale kingdoms--particularly ones with drunken unicorns, bored dragons, and sorcerers in tight, leather pants. Sasha Pierce hasn't had a single dream since she was a child...... until she accepts a substitute teaching position in the charmingly witchy village of Old Middleton. Her first dream in twenty-five years ought to be enchanting, but her wonder quickly turns to shock when she realizes that it's not a dream at all, but an entirely different sort of magic. Catapulted into the fairy tale kingdom of Between through an ancient portal, Sasha's astonishment is swiftly upgraded to panic when she accidentally performs a supposedly impossible feat and is declared the True Queen of Between ... and betrothed to its infuriatingly handsome sorcerer-king. Lorn, Shadow King of Between, is desperate to break free from Between's clutches. Magically tethered to the ramshackle kingdom, he wages a daily battle to save his disreputable subjects from rampaging magical creatures, sinkholes, and catastrophes of the distressingly lethal variety. To avoid an early grave, he needs an escape plan, not a wife...until he learns that this magicless mortal holds the key to his freedom. Unwilling to leave her world to accept the crown--or the husband--Sasha must race against the clock to disentangle herself from this fairy tale. But her empty throne leaves a dangerous rift between their worlds. As dark forces descend upon Old Middleton, the two must make a choice: work together or unleash fairytale chaos upon their realms. Between is the spellbinding first novel in The Chronicles of Between fantasy series. Filled with feisty, fairytale-savvy heroines, swoon-worthy sorcerers, slow burn romance, morose minotaurs, and bawdy witches it's a laugh-out-loud fairy tale romp."--Goodreads.
