Publisher's Summary

Destiny or desire: where does your allegiance lie?

I am told my union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn’t my betrothed who haunts my dreams. It’s the half-breed prince who stands at his side.

He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers promises of wickedness in my ear, I crave a man who I can’t have. Every thought I have is treasonous. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful. Even my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect.

But when the kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make choices I’m not prepared for. Our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel so shall my fate. Betray a kingdom or betray my heart.

A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is book one in the Stars and Shadows series, and it ends in a cliffhanger.

A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows

This book has been on my TBR for a while and now I am wondering why I didn't get to it sooner. It hooked me in really fast and I devoured every word. I like the characters and I'm interested to see how this plays out. Very enjoyable read.

Voice acting carried the story

Wish there was a little more lore for the world, a little less pining. Some of the scenes felt rushed, like the writer had planned some big plot points then not executed them.

Ridiculous but good

Ok, this book is ridiculous… but I couldn’t stop reading it! This was recommended based on other books I’ve read, like ACOTAR, One dark window, TOG, etc… so I thought I was going for a great fantasy story line, but this is not one of them…
The performances of the narrators is great though! If you’re looking for an easy read where you don’t have to concentrate and some shameless spice it’s ok. But just lower your expectations if you’re going for epic fantasy… this is not it.
But quite entertaining nonetheless!

Enjoy this for what it is

Honestly, I enjoyed this for what it is. A light flakey entertaining book. Exactly what I felt like. It covered ALL, and I mean all the romantasy tropes, i.e., single bed, single horse, touch her and you die, etc. Yep, and i will move on to the next book right away
