The book seems to be an interesting blend of many genres. But, I haven't read the first book in the series and I'm also in the middle of something else right now. So, I'm going to pass on this one for now.
Thank you for your detailed review.

I like that the story is told from multiple perspectives as well as that it is set in Elizabethan times. Also, I like that the book is full of twists that provide plot dynamics.

Not really what I usually select to read, because Sci-Fi/Fantasy is definitely not my favorite genres, but part of title "Will Love be Enough?" caught me and make me pay attention. Call ne a romantic soul, but to find out the answer to this eternal question I can even ignore the futuristic setting))

This sounds like an interesting combination of historical fiction and sci-fi. This second instalment in this series sounds like quite a complex story with many elements. I wonder if love prevails for the lead characters in this challenging story. Thanks for a great review.

This Antsey character sounds horrifying. While I am glad the main characters were able to escape, something tells me this won't be the last of him. Thanks for the detailed review.

This book seems to be filled with mysterious events, some aspects from sci-fi novels, romance, and a lot of twists too. The book's world seems to be very complex. Congrats on BOTD to the author!

With the blend of suspense, romance and sci-fi, this book is all I was looking for. I admire how the author has provided a quick recap of the first book in the trilogy and introduced the characters including their current circumstances to help readers who have not read the first one understand the storyline. I am definitely adding this to my bookshelf and will read it soon.

Thanks for the review!

I'm so intrigued by the genre of this book. I didn't even know historical sci-fi was a thing. But I'm all for a good character-driven romance. And I love that it's set in Elizabethan times.
Great review!

This certainly sounds like a fascinating story. I wonder about Thomas and Kat’s relationship surviving Thomas’s traumatic experience. Great review, thanks for sharing.

I'm torn on this one. I like romance, but I don't enjoy science fiction as much.
