Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds by Margarita Yaz

 

My thoughts

I receiced a copy of this from NetGalley and the most updated version from the author. I appreciate the arcs very much.

This book left me scratching my head. I missed something somewhere along the way I believe. I'm not saying it's good or bad. Just a bit confusing for me. Some things just seem to happen without any warning or leading up to it. I didn't like the ending because of the parts before the ending. I did not in any way like Marek. He was in my opinion not a good person. Lilith was a bit confusing too but she did seem strong for the most part. I felt so bad for Marena, who was Marek's wife. I think Marek shifted the blame of his failures and horrendous treatment of Lilith to Marena when he should have stood up to what he did. It's not like he wasn't two timing both women at the same time. Fate or not there is a right and wrong way of handling things. In a love story you should do it right and move on or work it out. Marek was weak. I could not picture him at any point as a strong man worth of either female. 

The story had huge promise. It had all the makings of a book I would have loved if things had not of "just happened" in so many places. All of a sudden Marek is married with a couple of kids... Then he's not. He's with Lilith and they are going to make it. Then they are not together. Then he's in Italy and meeting a whole new person. Or living in a dream/nightmare. I needed so closer in a few places before moving on to the next part.

Marek's POV was not what I thought it would be. He still let me down royally. I just didn't like him and wish he would have don't something better to hold on to at least one woman. 

Also what happened to Gina and Damon. They were a big or kind of big part at the beginning then they weren't and were not mentioned again. I didn't like Damon but good grief. I guess it was to let you know that Lilith didn't just melt at pretty words or sentences. Or vehicles. I also thought Gina was very childish. Maybe she was suppose to be several years younger than Lilith. I forget. 

The book is divided between four parts. It just left me a bit confused. Maybe future books will give more info. 

This book was ok but not an overwhelming head over heels story that I think should be at the top of the list. It's worth reading if you enjoy maybe reincarnation stories. Though I really didn't get the reincarnation vine either. Go figure. Maybe it's just me. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Kindle+ for this book.

3 stars. 

About

Metaphysical Time‑Slip Romantic Drama with Historical and Karmic Themes.

Lilith: The Woman Who Walked Between Worlds is a dual‑POV, dual‑timeline metaphysical novel told in first person, unfolding across the modern world and 14th‑century Florence on the edge of the Renaissance.

Lilith’s journey begins in present‑day St. Augustine, Florida, where a single encounter with Marek awakens a depth of emotion she never expected. Their connection is immediate, overwhelming, and ultimately shattering - a fracture that follows them for years.
A decade later, Marek tells his side. Through his voice, the reader uncovers the betrayal that broke them, the karmic bond that predates this lifetime, and the ancient patterns echoing through their story.
Beneath their story runs a quiet, mythic current – a feminine cosmology drawn from the Lilith–Selena duality: two moons, split into shadow and light.

As their two perspectives braid together, the novel moves between memory, destiny, feminine awakening, and the invisible threads that bind souls across time. What begins as a love story becomes a threshold between realities, psychological, historical, and mythic, where the past and present mirror each other across centuries.

Perfect for readers who crave mythic, atmospheric fiction, pre‑Renaissance Italy, and a story where souls cross the boundaries of time.
