Review:

Forest of Dreams and Whispers is a fun-filled romantasy romp through the world of the Fae. This novel may not tread new ground but it's highly entertaining. If you're looking for a romantasy that checks all the boxes: action, drama, witty banter, and a friends to lovers romance this book has it all in spades.

 

In Forest of Dreams and Whispers, we follow Juliana, a bodyguard to Prince Hawthorn of Fairy. In this gender-reverse spin on Sleeping Beauty, we see Juliana battle the forces of evil to save the prince and the day.

 

There wasn't a dull moment in this book or any parts that lingered too long. The pacing is perfect and the story unfolds in a way that has you desperate to know what happens next, even if you already kind of do because it's familiar ground. The characters are endearing, and the dialogue is hysterical. Conversations and banter between Juliana and Hawthorn make the book alone worth reading.

 

Forest of Dreams and Whispers won't leave you shook, it's not particularly deep, and it brings nothing new to the table but it is nonetheless a delightful romantasy novel that you will enjoy every moment of. Will I remember this novel in a year? Probably not. But will I have a blast spending time with Juliana and Hawthorn? Most definitely.
