Cora Goode has woken up in a fairytale world where she can understand what birds are saying to her, men ride horses and have fluffy feathers in their hats and furniture zigs, zags and whirls in miracles of construction. The problem is, she thinks she’s in a dream but she’s actually taken the place of the parallel universe Cora and without realizing it, our Cora does something that starts a centuries old curse that will sweep the land if she gets captured by the evil Minerva. At this point, her dream world becomes a nightmare. Luckily, hot guy, fantasyland Noctorno is there to save her from the clutches of the grotesque vickrants sent by Minerva to capture her. Unfortunately, hot guy, fantasyland Noctorno doesn’t like the Cora of his world all that much (to say the least) and he thinks our Cora is her. And no matter what our Cora says or does to try to convince him, he won’t be convinced. But Cora needs Tor to keep her safe and guide her through this fantastical world as she hopes one day to wake up in her not-so-great apartment in her not-so-great life in her world. The problem is, the more time she spends with the gorgeous warrior Tor, the faster she falls in love with him.

I swear that no one but Kristen Ashley can make me fall head over heels for every man that she writes. It just isn't possible for anyone else to do. And I really thought it was going to be a challenge for her with this series. I could not have been more wrong. This series is the one that I honestly felt I would have no interest in, because I had never before had the urge to read of other realms, elves, dragons and witches. But this is KA- I should have known better than to doubt the Queen. If anyone can make me want to devour a book of this kind- it is this woman!!That said, Tor Hawthorne has been the hardest for me to like so far of the series. Yep, I said it. I actually had issues with one of KA's men. How can that be possible, you say? Well, because from the beginning of the book- Tor treated Cora worse than a bug on the bottom of his shoe. He was blinded by his hate for his "other" Cora, so much so, that he refused to see that this Cora was absolutely nothing like the last, and could no way be of his world. He refused to even entertain the possibility that magic could be at play, even as he knew that it existed in his world, and that it surrounded him daily. So, he treated Cora like dirt. He was cruel to her, he was physical with her, and even relished in the times that he made her cry, even when deep down- I think he knew it was wrong. He only thought she was playing a game with him, in order to please herself, and accomplish her own selfish goals. And that, well that hurt my heart. I couldn't stand to see one of KA's men be cruel to the woman that I knew he would grow to love, to cherish, and to ultimately vow to give everything for.
If there was ever a man that had some 'splainin to do- it was Tor. He had so much to redeem himself for- he may as well have decided to make himself a permanent statue on his knees at the alter of Cora.
But Cora, in all of her gracious beauty and kindness, could not make him suffer as he should've. She opened her heart, not only to Tor, but to his world and his people- even if they refused to do so to her, as the "other" Cora has treated them no better than Tor had treated her. So, not only did Cora have to teach Tor how to learn to love her- not the former evil Cora, but she had to teach an entire kingdom to as well. Luckily, she was one of the most determined heroines that KA has ever written. And for that, I loved her. She is definitely one of my all time favorites. I think I cried every time that she did, and my heart hurt as much as hers every time that Tor was a jerk, or they were ripped apart, as well I rejoiced when he finally redeemed himself (in a freaking HUGE way), and when they were ultimately reunited.
This series, as much as I originally thought it bizarre, is now one of my faves of Kristen Ashley's as it is so unique, so unreal- yet genuine, and so damn beautiful. I am now doing re-reads, just to get ready for Midnight Soul- something that I CANNOT flipping wait for!! So, next up for me, a re-visit with the luscious Apollo and Ilsa, and then on to Noc-- yippee!!!

Fantastical The Fantasyland Series Volume 3 Kristen Ashley 9780692619353 Books Reviews
While each of these books are standalones, they happen in the same parallel universe and consist of the same characters. There is a big event that is coming and each book is leading up to that event. So although you could read this book alone, it would best be enjoyed by starting at the beginning. Besides, the first two books in this series are great so no reason not to enjoy them all.
Cora had no idea a parallel universe existed until she woke up in a strange beautiful world and assumed she was dreaming. That didn’t last long however, because her actions caused the start of a centuries old curse. Tor may have saved her, but she discovered that he was her husband in this world and he absolutely despised her. She quickly learned the Cora of this world was a b$&#h to everyone she met, was selfish and widely disliked.
I loved Tor. Although he was cold to Cora at first, you soon learn the reasons why, and it became obvious he had been hurt terribly by the other world Cora. He’s gorgeous and protective and underneath it all, the man is gentle, sweet and tender. Cora is adorable. She’s friendly and is deeply hurt by the reaction she receives from everyone. She learns quickly that looking like the other Cora has it’s drawbacks. But Cora is beautiful and she is strong, and she is determined not to give up.
I’ve fallen in love with this alternate universe and the people there. I cannot wait to start the next book to see what happens next.
I'm giving this one 3.5 stars. It was good but I expected more. I thoroughly enjoyed books 1 & 2 but this one left me lacking in some aspects.
Unfortunately, I was not a huge fan of the hero's initially treatment until almost the end of the book. His treatment of her was appalling so many cases and her inability to stop her emotiins from runnung ramling and of course fall for a guy, even his hurtful treatment rubbed me the wrong way.
I did enjoy the heroines no holds barrel on life, her inability to sit still, or let the hero's verbal beat down stop her from being her. The hero seem to enjoy the game that her believed she was playing and of course it was odd for someone who disliked someone so much to stop at nothing to protect her, this helped to add a bit of positivity to his character, and yet the hero was so wrapped in past hurts to see what was before him almost the end of the book.
This book is making me feel a slight dread at attempting to read the next book in the series. This alone should show how much this book was a put off for me. Yes, I enjoyed it, but it I will not read this again, once was more than enough for this book.
I have read the first three books in this series, and this was pretty good. (GOLDEN DYNASTY is the best.) FANTASTICAL is a bit more complicated than a typical Kristen Ashley book. In this case it seems to be due to setting up future books in the series.
Characters, plot, romance, and style are all typical for this author.
For me, Kristen Ashley's best books are KNIGHT and GOLDEN DYNASTY, and those were three stars. Unfortunately, I have never rated an Ashley book higher (although I like her stories) because the punctuation, dialogue, grammar, and wrong words knock me out of the story constantly. Examples in this book include 'tracks' when she means 'tracts', 'tanner' should be written as 'more tan', and the typical horrendous punctuation.
