Description
Evelyn Dale’s dream shattered one autumn day. The day her fiancé, who had sworn love to her, inherited the Dukedom. ‘To put it simply, this is a prenuptial agreement.’ Jared, knowing that writing was as vital to her as life itself, demanded that she cease writing to maintain the dignity of a Duchess. That night, Evelyn ran away from the Ducal residence and left the Trissen Empire. Three years have passed since then. She found great success as a bestselling author in the Kingdom of Ritten, but Evelyn’s resolve not to return home remained firm. “Empress Reinus wishes to meet the author Dennis Howle.” “……” “Miss Evelyn Dale. She wants to meet you.” Until Bryant Clifton, the head of the publishing company, came to visit. * “Please spare some time before we depart. We need to get to know each other a bit.” Surely not. Evelyn furrowed her brow a little more. “Mr. Clifton, are you coming with me?” “Yes.” “All the way to the Empire?” “Anywhere.” Evelyn was at a loss for words, staring at Bryant’s face. She needed to refuse, but no suitable reason came to mind. ‘I need to provide a reason why I can’t accompany him. An objective and logical reason.’ However, no matter how desperately she thought about it, she couldn’t find a way out. It was a predicament.

My Thoughts on Evelyn Dale’s Broken Dream
"Evelyn Dale's Broken Dream" is a complex tale of love, loss, and ambition set against a beautifully realized European backdrop. As a prequel to "Windburg," it explores the relationship between Evelyn and Jared, adding layers of depth (and perhaps some heartache) to the events that unfold in the sequel. While the story itself is captivating, it's clear that reading order significantly impacts the overall experience.
First Impressions
Diving into this story after having read "Windburg" definitely colored my perception. It's like watching a movie knowing how it ends – every interaction between Evelyn and Jared is tinged with a sense of inevitable doom. The emotional weight of their past relationship is palpable, particularly knowing the impact it has on Roselyn in "Windburg." I found myself constantly comparing the two romances, which, while unavoidable, made it difficult to fully appreciate "Evelyn Dale's Broken Dream" on its own merits.
What Works Well
The author excels at creating a believable aristocratic world filled with nuanced characters. The dialogue, especially the witty banter between Jared and Clifton, is a highlight. I appreciated the realism of the characters; they aren't perfect, possessing flaws and vulnerabilities that make them relatable. Evelyn's ambition as a writer and her desire for independence are compelling, and her struggles to navigate societal expectations resonated with me. The novel's strength lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions. It’s a testament to the author's skill that I felt so invested in these characters and their tangled relationships.
Areas of Concern
One of the main criticisms I have is Evelyn's character. Her actions sometimes felt inconsistent with her supposed intelligence and awareness. Her hesitations regarding Jared and Clifton felt frustrating at times. I also struggled with the fact that Evelyn leaves Jared when he needs her the most. Perhaps a more thorough exploration of her motivations would have made her decisions more understandable.

Final Verdict
"Evelyn Dale’s Broken Dream" is a well-written novel with compelling characters and a richly detailed world. However, its effectiveness is heavily influenced by its connection to "Windburg." If you're planning to read both, I strongly suggest starting with "Evelyn Dale's Broken Dream" to avoid the emotional baggage that comes with knowing the characters' ultimate fates. Overall, I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
