About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

You know the most dangerous kind of villain? A woman with nothing left to lose.

In a world ruled by the Stars, cruel and merciless gods, Elara has been cursed by fate.

A prophecy promises she will fall for a Star, but that it will kill them both.

Yet when the Star of Wrath and War descends to hunt Elara, the neighbouring kingdom sees an opportunity to take her from her home, the Kingdom of Night, to Helios, Kingdom of Light. Where she strides straight into the arms of an enemy prince.

There, Elara is forced to either let Prince Lorenzo train her into a weapon worthy of battling against the tyrannical reign of the Stars, or to accept her fate.

But there are shadows even within the Kingdom of Light – and they threaten to reveal the darkness in Lorenzo’s past and the ancient magic that slumbers in Elara’s veins.

And with it all, the undeniable, star-crossed pull between them…

A fantastically engaging story!

I loved this book so much. The story was wonderful, the characters are well written and the writing is lovely. If you're a fan of romantasy then you can't go wrong here. Brilliant! Can't wait for book two!

Great premise

I enjoyed the premise of this book and I kept listening for it to get better. There were some clever little twists, but ultimately it felt like romantasy by numbers as we formulaically went from plot point to plot point with very little to distract you from the quick shift between events and stilted writing. It was very “and Enzo did x and then Isra did y” and felt like it could have used more of a show not tell approach. Not yet convinced I’ll read book two as I’m honestly not invested in their story.

10/10 First of all, How dare you.

The Characters and the World building shined. also the pantheon of gods/Stars were intriguing and I can't wait to see more.

Good world building

I enjoyed the story, which is a romance set in a fantasy universe. The book was very good at hooking the reader in and I wanted to know the fate of the main characters, but at times there were several cringey moments, like when the author uses the F word a bit too much or tries to stretch out the point when the two main characters kiss. There was some interesting world building going on, and I like the foreshadowing in the storyline. Although at times the dialogue and interaction of the characters seemed like something from a book written for teenagers. At one point towards the end of the book, one of the main characters does a terrible act and then is congratulated by the other main character, which left me wondering whether this was an intentional breaking bad moment for both characters or just an over simplification by the author.
