We got not only one, but two new books!!! So yeah, go and pick up this book if you liked this Starcrossed series as much as I did back then, otherwise you’ll probably just be put off by the strange pacing, timing, and probably unnecessary plot of this book.īack when I first read this series all those years ago, I wished that it had more books, and finally my wish was granted. I really wasn’t even that invested in the love story of Daphne and Ajax, but I still rooted for them and found myself smiling all the time (even though I will admit that I’ve probably forgotten most of the plot the minute I finished the book- again, you’re only here for the nostalgia). Angelini’s writing style is so easy and relaxing to read, it engulfs you and pushes you to keep turning the pages. So why did I even pick up this book? Easy answer because I freaking adored these books when I was younger and I was indeed instantly hit by nostalgia when I dove back in into the world again. We get to see the lives of Lucas and Helen’s parents, and like the book blurb teases, it zeroes on the events that lead up to the War of Houses that took place prior to the Starcrossed books.
This book was by no way original in its plot, nor crucial in itself - it’s a simple prequel to the beloved Starcrossed series that is the ultimate feel-good YA fantasy book series from my teenage-angst years.
