Thank you to Netgalley and Bloom for this ARC!

Nothing is working for Hannah. Work  romance, family, life in general. Shes failing. Everything seems to be going wrong, when suddenly she is transported to s new realm and a new life that seems to just fall into her lap. But this new world is not without its challenges. Hannah will discover what it means to seize knes purpose and make a place for herself. 

I have to mention here that I have never read anything from this author so I cannot compare this to any of her previous books. This book was an easy fast read that felt like a good intro to fantasy novel. Nothing was too complex and everything felt well explained. 

I was very annoyed with Hannah, our FMC, for most of the book. I hate when MCs don't listen or try to run away when they end up in a new world or a new role. Like girl, everything was awful just go with this! But I know this is how the general trope goes so okay. In the last bit of the book she really embraced herself and her role and it was amazing. The romance in the book is spicey insta lust to love which I enjoy so no complaints. Overall the book was enjoyable without being too complex.
