In a world in which dreams are guarded and nightmares are unsanctioned, one woman's unraveling mind may hold the key to everything the empire fears.

Sweeping, perilous, and aching with forbidden passion, Where Dreams Fall is the first book of a dark romantasy series in which love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Review: Unbroken Bonds

Unbroken Bonds Unbroken Bonds by J. Bree
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It took some time to get through, but I’m finally finished with this series. šŸ«”

Books 1-5 averaged 4 stars. I felt like this book wasn’t a full 4 stars, but 3.75, so close enough.

I have been in love with each of Oli’s bonds since book one, and that hasn’t changed. Oli is a different story. I have disliked her character and POV chapters since book two probably. She is repetitive, and immature. I get that she is “so much younger” than her bonded, but it got really old, really fast.

As a whole, the series was a great read and I enjoyed the story line. HOWEVER, I don’t think I will ever find myself reading it again… šŸ„²šŸ« šŸ˜…

Tropes:
Dystopian
Why choose
Age gap
Forced proximity
Fated bonds (mates)
Found family
