Thanks BookSirens for providing me with an e-Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Orobella is a being who wanders the galaxy wearing the form of other beings. She is on a mission to collect Emotion Crystals and spread joy. In every world Orobella has visited in the past, she has concentrated on collecting crystals and going back home. This time, her intention is the same, that is until she meets Sambor. The dark and mysterious tattoo artist seems to be the only one who is immune to Orobella's charms.
In exchange for a Lasota tattoo, Orobella agrees to help Sambor's baby sister to prepare for a ceremony which will decide the rest of her life. Despite his best efforts Sambor is drawn to Orobella and finds his resolve slipping.
The longer Orobella stays in this body the more attached she begins to become to this life. Will she complete her mission and go home? Or will this body's past come back to haunt her?
What I liked about this book
- This story is so imaginative. The author has not just created one world, but a whole universe. The main story takes place in a world which is similar to earth, but with magic. However, Orobella tells stories of the worlds she has visited in the past and some of them sound magical.
- The emotional aspect of the narrative is really well written. I was emotionally invested in Orobella's relationship with Sambor and his sister, Child. My heart strings were tugged several times.
- The writing is easy to follow and has a good flow.
- Child and Smoku were my favourite characters. Child is adorable and Smoku brings the comic relief.
What I didn't like
- Some of the word choice during the more intimate scenes made me cringe.
