Rae is a dying teenager, and spends her remaining life immersed in the world of her favourite fantasy book series. She is given a chance at a second life if she enters the world of her beloved books and retrieves a specific flower; she siezes the chance and finds herself a character in the book’s world.
Except, she is the villainess.
Undeterred, she takes it in her stride. After all, the villains get the best lines and are the best dressed. Changing the story as she goes along, forging unlikely alliances and escaping by the skin of her teeth several times, she sets about making her own destiny.
The premise is wholly intriguing; it seems like a send-up of all the usual swords-and-sorcery literature tropes. But the nicest thing that can be said about the execution is that it is entirely too tedious and repetitive.
