But in this case, it wasn't just the royal romance tropes which turned me off-I didn't like Rinity and Tov as characters.

I tend not to enjoy royal romance, so it's not too surprising that I didn't like Rinity and Tov's story. It's been described as a mashup of Aladdin and Pride & Prejudice. Yesterday or Long Ago revolves around two young women from poor backgrounds, Rinity and Amya, and their forbidden romances with men far above their station (a prince and a royal advisor respectively). It's Aladdin meets Pride and Prejudice in this romantic comedy about finding the love you deserve in the most unexpected places. Will the girls find their happy ending or bring Liosa down with them as they try to find it? When a mysterious man offers Rinity the opportunity to become the girl the Prince thinks she is, she must decide how far she's willing to go for the answers she wants. But the Royal Advisor quickly becomes an unexpected development in those plans. And his friend, Royal Advisor Gibbs, never seems to be far from the Prince- and seems to have taken an interest in Rinity's best friend.Īmya Cole knows better than to set her sights too high- a merchant’s son is all she needs to be provided for and still be useful. Things get complicated, however, when Rinity discovers the Librarian is actually the Crown Prince. It’s there she meets Tov, the Librarian whose brown eyes are easier to get lost in than the stories she loves. Rinity Garrick isn’t allowed in the Liosi Royal Library, but that hasn’t stopped her from sneaking in every chance she gets. 'They’d write about her in books she’d never be allowed to read.”
