  • I can’t believe I haven’t started this series sooner!
I can’t believe I haven’t started this series sooner! This first book in Holly Renee’s Stars and Shadows series is true Romantasy perfection. It has everything I could have asked for, including all the angst and plot twist amazingness. There is still so much to learn about this world and the beautifully written characters. I cannot wait to see their layers peeled away and how they develop throughout the plot of the next books. I am still in awe of the cliffhanger and cannot wait to jump into the next part of this story. ... show more

  • Popular tropes, 250 ish pages, and lots of spice
This is a 3.5-3.75 ⭐️ for me because while I really enjoyed the story, it relied heavily on popular tropes and spice, missing much of magic system, world building, and story development. That said, this is under erotica categories, so I also wouldn’t expect that as much since the focus should be more on the relationship and spice. I actually had the thought “are they really going at it again?!” This spicy, slow burn starts off focused on plot, but when the heat hits, it’s a 5-alarm and not extinguished until the end. At 259 pages (kindle version), this is a quick read too. The starblessed aspect was original, but otherwise the story stands out because it is erotica and not due to originality in the plot. I also had the ending figured out very early and wished there were more red herrings. While I love the length of the book, I do think there could’ve been better balance than “all plot” in the beginning and “constant sex with a little plot to keep it moving” in the rest. I also think more could’ve been spent on developing, at least, Adara. This will likely be a favorite for a lot of readers and I have no reservations recommending it widely. I also think it’s a “safe” story for a lot of readers, as it has few triggers and is pretty par for the course for the genre. Adara is a “starblessed” chosen one who is to marry the Fae prince, and their Union will result in him becoming exponentially more powerful. The only problem is, Adara is all kinds of insta-lusting over the captain of the Royal guard - the prince’s half brother, and a Fae-Vampyre halfbreed, Evryn. Oh boy, Evryn, he is a dirty talking (rivaling Tessa Bailey’s MMCs), arrogant, possessive male who takes heads of those who’ve harmed her. He is every alpha trope that exists. ... show more

  • A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows
Very derivative and tropey. But I came because I like those tropes. The characters feel very surfacy not a lot of depth. I honestly don't even know how I would describe the characters. I could say that the FMC is wishy-washy. More so than others in similar tropes. Other than that the characters just like encompass tropes that they portray. The MC isn't very compelling other then his trope. They don't have that witty banter thing that hits either. The book is very derivative. More so when it comes to From Blood and Ash. It's like an abbreviated version. It moves much faster than that book or books like it. The books are much shorter, but then again cuts to the chase when it comes to steam which I think is that a lot of people enjoy. And it cuts to the chase when it comes to getting to the story which I think is what kept me reading for the whole book. I didn't think I was going to read the second book but I decided to give the first couple chapters a try. I feel like there's a lot of potential here if it was just a little bit different and if there was more depth and more interwoven into the fabric of the story. It's hard not to compare it to From Blood and Ash and some stories like it because it has a lot of the same tropes and a lot of similarities. I mean from Blood and Ash "honeydew" and this book "honey" I think that one did get me other wise well it's easy to compare I wouldn't say it was two similar. If it was it would have bothered me and I would have put it down. But it is very derivative. It seems like it's made up of a little bit from a few books. I think when it comes to tropes and fantasy you need something that puts a different spin on it. I mean people do beauty and the beast retellings for example (this is not one) all the time but what works is they put a different spin on it They have something different to say. I can how this could seem unique to somebody who hasn't read a lot of fantasy. There's also a few continuity errors. (Now have read the first few chapters of book 2 to see and how to make Make note of that) The book just doesn't feel very character-driven because I don't feel like I know the characters enough to be invested in them. They just seem to encompass their tropes. And while I knew it was going to be heavily steamed-focused I was hoping for more. That said I think this author has a lot of potential with time if they keep improving and working on their characters. And a lot of other people seem to really enjoy it. It is a solid 3 stars, works as a pallet cleanser for fantasy readers looking for an easy tropey familiar read. Another A, of, and. ... show more
