The Goblins of Bellwater

I am iffy on this book. For one, the cover is beautiful. And boy, do I have a thing for beautiful covers. The idea is also strong. And yet, when it comes to the actual content - the actual writing, character crafting, world-building, romance, and plot progression...the book falls short, and I was left a bit disappointed. I'm not even shelving this under “romance” because I felt the romance was so...sparse. Not interesting??? Not sure how to categorize it. Either way, what could've been a very interesting and immersive book left me massively wanting. Too bad, because my, I am still obsessed with that cover.

I got this book from NetGalley in return for my honest opinion!

I loved this book. It was well written with a really good story line and the right amount of magic. The characters were really funny and their storylines were well written as well. The only thing I didn't like was the multiple pov's. I personally just don't like them.

I loved the storyline. Redring and her clan felt real and I just could imagine her whistling and throwing a path for me to come into the woods. Their village felt like something it could really be, and their behavior as well. The slow turn to one that two characters had to get through was well written in my opinion. The slightly got deeper and deeper into the spell and their lives slowly fade from them. I loved it. It was not a ‘boom now you are a goblin' thing.

I would suggest you'll read this book, because it's amazing!
