Between

L. L. Starling — 2020
A kindergarten teacher trapped in a fairytale. A sorcerer bound to a kingdom. A destiny beyond their wildest dreams.Sasha Pierce hasn't had a single dream since she was a child?until she accepts a substitute teaching position in the charmingly witchy village of Old Middleton. Her first dream in twenty-five years ought to be enchanting, but her wonder quickly turns to shock when she realizes that it isn't a dream, but an altogether different sort of magic. Catapulted into the fairytale kingdom of Between, Sasha's astonishment is swiftly upgraded to panic when she accidentally performs a supposedly impossible feat and is declared the True Queen of Between ? and betrothed to its infuriatingly handsome sorcerer-king. Lorn, Shadow King of Between, longs for freedom ?but is magically tethered to the ramshackle, sentient kingdom of Between. Waging a daily battle to save his disreputable subjects from rampaging magical creatures, sinkholes, and catastrophes of the distressingly lethal variety has left him exhausted and magically depleted. To avoid an early grave, he needs an escape plan, not a wife...until he learns that this magicless mortal holds the key to his freedom. Unwilling to leave her world to accept the crown-or the husband-Sasha must race against the clock to disentangle herself from this fairytale. But her empty throne leaves a dangerous rift between their worlds. As dark forces descend upon Old Middleton, the two must make a choice: work together?or unleash fairytale chaos upon their realms. Between is the spellbinding first novel in The Chronicles of Otherworld fantasy series. Filled with feisty, fairytale-savvy heroines, swoon-worthy sorcerers, slow-burn romance, bawdy witches, and drunken unicorns, it's a laugh-out-loud fairytale romp.

I enjoyed the basics a lot about this book, the plots and ideas and characters are so good. But sometimes it did feel like it tended to drag on in spots and have a better of telling EVERYTHING. Still, it’s a good book and I can’t wait to see what’s next for the series. ALSO! It is basically two books in one and that’s important to know because the size of it alarmed me at first then I found out and it made it much more manageable.
