A hidden gem. I absolutely adored this book! The characters, the story, the world, everything is so fun. It brought me back to what I loved about fantasy when I was younger. It has Portal magic, a lost Princess, banned magic, found family, and a journey to find what your heart longs for.
"𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲?" 𝐈 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝, 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞. "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈'𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮?"
Our main girl, Alaine has always had a yearning to find out where she came from. Yes she absolutely loves her adopted parents and siblings, but she feels something is missing. Suddenly she finds herself face to face with magic lighting, and then she is thrown into a world that is not her own.

The story was so much fun, and characters are very likeable. I enjoyed the personal journey that each character went on throughout the story. In this book, we have zero romance but the potential for something to blossom in future books. It was a book that completely surprised me and was fantastic! I devoured the story. I want the second book, and this is one I want on physical form for my shelves. It has all of the magic and fun that made me fall in love with reading fantasy books.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
