I like both Nimue and Nina so much. They were relatable. They made the story enjoyable. I love how they were developed by the author. I felt Nina's pain when she was mourning her father; it looked so real.

Nina's character development lends her a relatable quality, allowing readers to easily connect with her inner challenges. Nonetheless, there is room for adjustments that could bring out certain aspects of Nina's character more prominently.

I found that Nina's hesitation to enter into her past life to be very relatable. In act two, there was her relationship with Merlin that I found very interesting. She seems to know that their fates will separate them and mourns it in present while she is with him. The conflict that arises from knowing her future was not very relatable. But I found it most interesting.

Nina acted like the teenage girl she was. But I think she was better prepared for the drastic change in her life. It seemed she welcomed it from the start.

I think the main character fits the position very well. The author writes such a good character arc for her. She deserves to be the lead.

I did enjoy most of the story and won't really say that I found the entirety of the character Nimue relatable. There were times I questioned her choice and other times I could relate to her choices and struggles. It was a well developed line of character and I appreciate that.

I see a naive and curious girl who had to show a lot of strength when it was needed. She is like any 17-year-old girl trying to figure out the meaning of the strange dreams she was having.

I love how open Nimue is to learning about her powers.. Devising ways to strengthen them too. Her growth throughout the book is amazing.

Since the author wrote it so smoothly and Nimue's development was so meticulously described, it was quite easy for me to relate to both Nina and Nimue's personalities at the same time.
They both have such a pure heart, and their desire to serve those around them is inspirational. I really appreciated how powerful and inquisitive they are.
