A Remedy for Fate – ARC Book Review

Quick Review- A bit predictable and slow burn but the characters are lovable and favorable, particularly Jasper.

Rating:- 4 stars

‘Steeped in glorious magic and filled with fantastic friendships and eternal love’ SARAH BETH DURST

CAN SHE RECOVER HER HEART?

Prague, 1769. In the Magic Quarter of the jewel-box city of Prague, Thea runs Stiltskin’s Apothecary. There, she brews potions to chase away nightmares and soothe heartache – and strikes bargains to change her customers’ fates. The only fate she cannot change? Her own.

Seven years ago, Thea bargained away her heart and her memories to the apothecary’s owner, the cold, yet enigmatic Jasper, for reasons she cannot remember, and a reward she cannot recall.

Then one day a stranger arrives with an unusual request. One that will upturn Thea’s entire existence – and offer her a precious chance to recover her heart . . .

Prepare to be enchanted by this spellbinding historical fantasy romance from the author of Midnight in Everwood, steeped in magic, found family and love.

Seven years ago, Thear bargained her heart and memories to a man named Jasper who was a mysterious apothecary owner. Since then, Thea has been living in the Magic Quarter in Prague helping people with their problems and changing their fate if necessary. Then comes the hunters who want nothing but destroy the Magic Quarter.

The story is set in Prague in 1700’s so the descriptions of the city in general made me feel like I was in Prague. The writing was great and the story plot is also great although it was predictable. The ending was predictable as well. This is one of those books where all the characters were favorable and lovable–particularly Jasper and the secondary characters like Talibah and Zofka. I like the fact that the crow named Biscuit is also a part of the story. The only thing is, I found Thea slightly whiny and annoying–understand that she wants to get her memories back and want to know who she really is, but then I actually found the main character annoying.

Nonetheless, this author is new to me and someone to look out for. Definitely I would read more books from her in future.

Worth four stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Hodder for the ARC and the invitation to review the book. This review is solely based on my honest opinion only.
