Brittany Kilinsky's Reviews > The Gods Time Forgot

The Gods Time Forgot is a historical romance with Irish mythology, Bridgerton vibes, and characters I adored. The main character, Rua, wakes up in someone else’s body with little to no memory except her name. She is forced to live the life of a debutante in 1800s society so that she doesn’t get thrown in an asylum for having amnesia. I would say this is a low fantasy and heavily focused on the characters as the plot felt like an afterthought at times. The gods and flashbacks lost me at some points, and by the end I still only had a vague sense of what happened once they got their memories back. I almost wish this was just a historical romance book without the amnesia and gods plot because the characters, romance, and prose were all so amazing that it would have been five stars if the plot didn’t fall flat. There’s lots of tension and yearning and banter that I enjoyed, so I still think this is worth the read for the romance alone. After the ending, I’m pretty sure this is a standalone but there’s an open ended “what next?” question that could possibly make way for a sequel. I am not sure that question would warrant a sequel so I’m unsure if I would continue the series if there was. Overall, this was a strong debut with great writing and amazing romance so I’m looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.
