Summary

"The Fate of Stars, the first book in the Sea and Stars trilogy, is delightfully dark and sexy, full of lush imagery, vibrant characterization, and enough adrenaline to keep me up way past my bedtime." (Anna Burke, award winning author of Thorn and Compass Rose)

A devout mermaid. A disgraced princess. A feud as ancient as the gods.

Worlds collide when Tallora is kidnapped from her ocean home and forced to be a pet to a tyrannical foreign empire. Her only hope for rescue lies with a sworn enemy - Princess Dauriel, infamous for her stone heart and conflicted past. But when Dauriel’s kingdom comes to the cusp of war, could their uneasy alliance be the key to defeating a common foe? Or will their growing feelings for each other lead them to ruin?

From the world of Fallen Gods comes a tale of ancient magic and cutthroat politics - and finding redemption through love.

"If you like your fantasy with an extra dark twist, exceptional world building and deeply complex characters then reel this book in fast. You’ll be hooked. Oh, and mermaids! Enough said." (The Lesbian Review)

well-narrated and an interesting world

I thought that the narration was very good - a good range of voices for characters were used and I never got confused by them. I enjoyed how the characters were written and the world created by the author was very compelling.

spoilers ahead!
I enjoyed most of the story but I found the relationship challenging due to the nature of it being between someone captured and one of her capturers. I found at points I almost didn't want them to end up together! With that said, I can see that it's more about my personal feelings than about the quality of the writing, and that there is this strong narrative about forgiveness present. I don't think I will read the next in the series right now, however in the future I may feel differently and I do think it would be interesting to see where this world goes.

Excited for the next one

A good first installment, I’m excited to see what happens next! I enjoyed the majority of the book, but felt some incidences could have been more drawn out and detailed, particularly towards the end of the book. I liked the enemies-to-lovers romance between the two MCs. I really couldn’t stand the voice chosen for Tellora though, but with that being said, the narrator was excellent.
