Based on the blurb, Jade Fire Gold had the potential to be a new YA fantasy favorite for me.

When she’s not writing about Southern girls in love, in trouble, or in space, she’s sharing books with teens as a high school librarian or reading stories to her two young daughters.I expected an epic tale, with original characters. As such, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she met and married her husband, a fellow educator. Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, she considers herself a dyed-in-the-wool Southern girl. With a passion for reading, she continued on to Georgia State University where she earned a master’s degree in library media. Shanna Miles attended the University of South Carolina where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism.

With lots of time travel, important messaging, and great ending that really examines the difference between choice and fate, For All Time is a fun read all around. Their only concern is they never get to see how their story ends. But in each life one thing remains the same: their love and their fight to be together. They’ve even watched humanity take to the stars. Together, Tamar and Fayard have lived a thousand lives, seen the world build itself up from nothing only to tear itself down again in civil war. Fayard? He’s a pioneer, a hustler, a hopeless romantic. Here’s the summary… Tamar is a musician, a warrior, a survivor. On this episode of Everything is Canon, Steve talks to Shanna Miles all about her traditional publishing debut, For All Time, which is described as, “ The Sun Is Also a Star meets Outlander in this vivid, utterly romantic debut novel about two teens who relive their tragic love story over and over until they uncover what they must do to change their fate.”
