Read the full take

Sielle is an ordinary handmaid working for the Grand Duke Ferzei Yekarte. The thing is, she knows he is a villain from a story she read in her previous life on Earth. The premise is a fantasy romance in which a reader who knows the script tries to change the ending for someone the story had written off.The strength is the heroine. Sielle's practical courage and her knowledge of the plot give her a clever edge, and her attempts to rewrite the story are satisfying. The court politics add tension.The weaknesses are about the formula. The long run can repeat its beats, and the romance follows familiar fantasy patterns. Readers wanting originality may find it predictable.Recommended for readers who enjoy clever reincarnation romances. Expect a warm, familiar read with a determined heroine.
