Legend of the Witch - EL Rose

The book opens with a legend that hints at everything that is to come, and it was such a beautiful way to set the tone. It then shifts into a glimpse of the past, sharing how the ending came to be and how we arrive at the present day, which immediately pulled me in.

I absolutely loved Astrid. Her fascination with the Viking era, even though she never fully understood why, was adorable. I was so impressed by how she handled everything that unfolded. Carrying emotions and memories that heavy had to be overwhelming, and she faced it with such quiet strength.

But the men… the fact that they searched for her for one thousand years is hands down one of the most romantic things I have ever read. I cannot even imagine what that life must have been like, endlessly searching for the one person who completed them.

Colden’s reintroduction to Astrid stole my heart the most. Being the first to see her again, the first to touch her, you could feel the tension, the excitement, and the fear all wrapped into one moment. It was incredibly powerful.

The story itself was completely different from anything I have read before. I did not want to put it down because I was so invested in what would happen next. At the same time, it was an incredibly emotional and heartbreaking story to follow. My heart broke over and over as the characters reflected on their past and everything they had endured. I received this book as an ARC and I’m leaving this honest review voluntarily.

Her gorgeous eyes connect with mind, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe.
