Another thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
That was bloody great.
<i>The Last Hour Between Worlds</i> isn't something I would have picked up to read without it popping up on my NetGalley account. It's classified as a science fiction and fantasy book. I think it's a little unfair to claim it isn't at least part-romance.
We see a literal descent into madness, mayhem, and chaos, led by the wonderful Kembral. A determined, fierce, and maternal protagonist with just the right amount of depth to get me through.
The entire story is set within a small area, which you'd think could confine the potential of a debut in what I believe is going to be a series of adventures, but if anything it created a greater sense of urgency and immediacy.
In a fantastically imagined world, Caruso straddles the line between fantasy and romance. More an emotional, and loving romance, than the romantasy smut half of BookTok loves to consume. My only gripe with the romance element was the repetition. It became a little arduous and repetitive as we hit the latter end of the book.
Personally, this could do well as a standalone, but I'll happily read more stories if they're told in the same eloquent, and gripping way.
Great read, pick up a copy on release.
3.8/5
