Finally, The discovery of the beginning of this curse. I won't spoil it for anyone. This has been so far my least favorite, even though we finally got somewhere with the storyline. I just felt some got a bit repetitive, and it will pull me out of the story. But 3 stars for me isn't bad, I still like the book enough and still had fun reading it. ( )

I don't really think this book needed to exist. I think this book is a terrible book that had no reason to exist, but instead this book just exist to do time travel shenanigans. A thing that I am not fond of in general and thus this book is superfluous in my eyes.

It's kind of a hybrid between a clip show and let's explain the plot that we skipped over explaining in the last two books kind of thing. Lucine gets to go back through time and see all of her past lives and see all of the time she spent with her beloved Daniel and try and understand how they even came to be together. Sounds reasonable? Right? Yeah, it's not.

Each chapter can be dissected down into a simple sentence Lucina is in a different time, a different location, and hopping place to place. In a picture book this would be really pretty but kind of useless. Here it's really just... description porn? It's there to tell us all about the world around her but I don't care about her, and I don't care about her world so I don't know what the point of it is. Like congratulations you're now in jerusalem? I don't care.

In a odd way this book whitewashes the characters because in past lives they were not White characters they were different races and depending on the life that she views she sees them as a different ethnicity. I never really expected that. But we get to find out Lucina and Daniel were once colored people.

The most confusing part probably has to be that she was alive and times when baptism didn't exist so why is baptism the thing that lets her come back to life when clearly she was around before it? It's little things like that to stand out to me.

At one point it's World war one or two and Daniel meets her and she's 13 and he doesn't return her feelings until she's of age. Ew. I don't want to think about that. "Young and lovely, innocent and saucy." *Gags into my own mouth*
That's actually in the book!? Gross!

This book, because of the time travel, automatically gets really messed up and doesn't make any sense - like when she enters the past, he should have memories of seeing her in the past, but he doesn't. There's a lot of little things like that that I can't overlook. I can barely overlook the fact that Daniel is a massive narcissistic abuser and this book makes it so obvious that he is not a good match for her. I don't even like her, and I don't want her to be with Daniel. This relationship has been doomed by this book. This one book alone shows that he is a narcissist and an abusive man and should not be with her.

Daniel doesn't love lucina, he loves the relationship he has with her. And. Whenever she tries to change her looks, change her hair, do anything she wants, he gets mad because she's altering the relationship.
Disgusting.

1 star. ( )

Luce would die for Daniel.

And she has. Over and over again. Throughout time, Luce and Daniel have found each other, only to be painfully torn apart: Luce dead, Daniel left broken and alone. But perhaps it doesn’t need to be that way… .

Luce is certain that something—or someone—in a past life can help her in her present one. So she begins the most important journey of this lifetime… going back eternities to witness firsthand her romances with Daniel… and finally unlock the key to making their love last.

Cam and the legions of angels and Outcasts are desperate to catch Luce, but none are as frantic as Daniel. He chases Luce through their shared pasts, terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.

Because their romance for the ages could go up in flames… forever.

I wasn't fond of the first book in this series. Yet, at the end of the second, I thought hmm interesting. By far, I would say I liked this one the best out of the three.

Luce journeys back in time to root out the purpose of her curse with Daniel and to find how to break said curse. Daniel goes after her, and the adventure continues.

I thought I would like this series because Luce and Lucinda are two of my nicknames and what story can go wrong using my name? I was very wrong. I might be biased because I'm not the biggest fan of romance, but I just thought this series was a bit too much for me.

This novel overall was my favorite compared to its prequels. Luce goes back in time and witnesses her previous selves loving and dying in the hands of her love. It's interesting to see the different reincarnations of Luce. I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get to read about the original Luce, but nevertheless, we get so many different reincarnations of her, it's cool and creative. The concept of time travel here was interesting too and showed a side of Luce that doesn't render her completely useless.

As for Daniel, we read about how he has this eternal love for her, but don't know much about his past or why he is the way he is. I like how we see how dark it is for Daniel, but he overcomes this darkness through the dedication and devotion to his belief of their true love. That I must compliment. In reality, when a person believes they're in love, and their love is gone, that is heartbreaking, I think it's captured in this book wonderfully.

I love that we get to see Cam's background with his beloved Lilith and why he deflected to the dark side. And the fact that we get to find out what happened in the beginning of the fall is my favorite part of this book.

Personally, the biggest drawback to this book would be Luce constantly mulling over how much she is in love with Daniel and whether Daniel's love for her is true. I'm not a fan of people whining about about how much they love someone or how they are loved. In this series as a whole, Luce whines about this a lot. *eye roll* WE GET IT. Luce loves Daniel, Daniel loves Luce, and I feel like I'm reading the same thing over and over again. I think I rolled my eyes so much reading this, my eyes my get stuck rolling. lol

Overall I rate this with a 3.5 stars. ( )

much like harry potter 6, this book felt like it was preparing you for what is to come. also like hp6, i am now dreading the long wait to tje next book. ( )
