Format: Paperback
A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows was everything I want in a romantasy.. lush, dangerous, and emotionally addictive. The worldbuilding is rich without being overwhelming, steeped in magic, court intrigue, and shadows that feel alive. From the very beginning, there’s a constant undercurrent of tension that keeps you turning pages, like something is always about to go wrong in the best possible way. The characters are the real standout. The FMC is strong without being flawless, sharp without being cold, and her emotional growth feels earned. The romance? Slow-burn, charged, and deliciously complicated. Every interaction carries weight, longing, and just enough danger to keep you hooked. What I loved most is how the story balances romance and plot. Neither overshadows the other. The stakes stay high, the twists hit hard, and the darker elements add depth rather than shock value. By the time I reached the final chapters, I was fully invested.. heart racing, emotionally compromised, and absolutely unprepared for how much I’d need the next book. If you love fae courts, morally gray love interests, forbidden tension, and stories where stars and shadows blur together, this book is an easy five stars. I’m obsessed.. and yes, I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. ✨🌑📚

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. 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. . Let me tell you, if you are on the fence with reading this book, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿?! I loved every bit of the book, I couldn’t put this down once I read the first chapter! Our Main FMC, Adara, she is very independent, strong headed and can wield a weapon! She will not go down without a fight. Fell in love with her confidence. She doesn’t need anyone but herself. Our MMC, Evren, shadow daddy, touch her and die, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻?! *swoons* He is everything you could want and then some. Welcome to your next book boyfriend. Being Starblessed isn’t for the faint of heart. Adara was was forced to help her kingdom by becoming betrothed to Prince Gavrin, Evren’s brother, and hand over the power hidden inside her. The Royals of this kingdom are corrupted by power and are willing to risk anyone to get it. Adara is not sure whom she should trust at any point in time. Should she keep Evren close? Or will he betray her if she lets him in? . There is so much angst in this book, you could see the steam rise. I loved all of the stolen moments that were had. There was a lot of buildup and chemistry between the main characters. There was a great blend of the story and the spice throughout. You are not overwhelmed with the world building at all; Holly takes you through it as you read along with the book and characters. This was the first book I read from this author and I loved every bit of it. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series! Also, spoiler, ends in a cliffhanger! Ugh…lolol. Thank you for writing this delicious novel! . 𝙋.𝙎. 𝙑𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨 . Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

Star Rating: ★★★☆☆ Favorite Quote: "It felt like an old friend that I didn’t even know. A familiar stranger that always greeted me." Overall Feel: This is definitely a romantasy - a chosen protagonist who is fated to save the kingdom who is bound to one brother but drawn to the other. It does have elements that make it feel dark (like what Adara is supposed to be used for, how Evern talks to her, the tension between the royals). I just felt like it all happened a little too quickly. Thoughts on Plot: The story follows a very logical plot line, from Adara being taken from her home to her discovery and understanding of the life that she was thrown into at the palace. There were some interesting plot points (both spicy and action) but it felt a bit choppy as you went from one scene to another. I did enjoy the twists and turns, especially toward the end of the book, but I wish there had been more character and relationship building spread throughout. Thoughts on Characters: I enjoy Adara, who was insistent about her identity despite being constantly labeled Starblessed and Princess. She felt well developed and seeing how her thoughts swirled helped me root for her throughout the story. Everen was enjoyable as well, and I can see how he's irresistible to both Adara and readers. I just wish there was a little more substance to the other characters - Gavril, Jorah, even the queen. Everything was very centered on Adara and her story, but I think a little more about the people around her could've enriched this read. Recommendations: I read this while I'm very much in my Sarah J. Maas kick. There are a LOT of romantasy books on my TBR (with varied levels of spice) and this fits well among the genre.

The plot was great. The characters were great. I hate it when romance writers have a great plot great characters but go too deep into the romance. Why are you wasting everybody’s time writing a 20 page essay on a love scene it’s not even a love scene. it’s a banging scene. You have the plot you have the characters yes romance is great, but you’re diluting the potential the book by overkill.

If you love fantasy, fated mates, forbidden love, enemies to lovers, vampires, touch her and get unalived plus so much more. 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦. 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞. Adara is feisty, strong willed and comical while also being vulnerable. She refuses to go down without a fight and honestly, she is impossible not to love. Evren? EVREN?! * ˢʷᵒᵒⁿˢ, ᵈʳᵒᵒˡˢ, ᶠᵃⁿˢ ˢᵉˡᶠ* I was enamored by him, to say the least. This man had me weak in the knees with every single thing that came out of his mouth. Their chemistry was off the charts from the very beginning. There is so much angst, spice, twists and turns. It is absolute 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 and will cause you to feel every emotion known to man. There are a lot of dark stolen moments and buildup, which is what really makes the s̾p̾i̾c̾e̾ even better. The longing and the tension could be felt deep in your bones and cut with a 🔪, but it would have to be very sharp, strong and large to cut through. It has the perfect blend of smut and plot. Did I mention you get a little spice in pretty much every chapter? * ᴴᵃᵖᵖʸ ᵈᵃⁿᶜᵉ* @authorhollyrenee also does a great job of crafting a world without it being too much causing you to lose attention. For the length of this book, it is perfectly paced and I really love her writing style. The cliffhanger had me 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙴𝙰𝙼𝙸𝙽𝙶 and wanting to throw my book. Honestly, I wanted to jump off that cliff because I could not believe it. It took me days to process before I could read something else.

I devoured this entire book in a single night. Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is everything I want in a romantasy; all my favorite enemies to lovers moments wrapped up in a captivating story. Adara is Starblessed, fated to save the kingdoms and forced into a life of duty she has never wanted. Evren is captain of the Royal Guard serving the crowned Prince she is destined to marry. When Evren comes to collect her, the spark between them is both unwanted and undeniable; but from their very first meeting, nothing is as it seems. The tug between Adara and Evren is epic, and I really love that the author allowed us to experience their evolving connection as a main storyline without sacrificing a strong, well developed plot. Evren is peak book boyfriend, bad boy material: •morally grey •ethereal and mysterious •smart/dirty mouth •soft for only her I am slightly obsessed with who Evren is; his attitude, what we know of his character, power, background is engrossing and that cliffhanger left me needing more in the best ways. →"It doesn't matter that you are his. Every part of you is begging to be mine." → "Take it," he growled, and his hands tightened against my throat and my thigh. "If you want me, take it princess." Adara's growth by the end of the novel is palpable and I am super excited and hopeful to see her come into her power. I love that she feels so real; I always prefer a powerful, badass fmc, but I deeply appreciate a real woman who is brave through her fear, fierce in uncertainty, emotional AND strong. → "I was the Starblessed, the savior of his kingdom, but I was also Adara. And right now, I felt lost beyond who I was fated to be." → "Blood and magic have been woven together throughout our land for centuries, but you are the blade with which they will sever it." There were a couple very minor editing errors, and I felt that some of the spicier scenes had repetitive language/phrasing, but neither of those things took away from the story as a whole or the vibe for me. I will be very impatiently awaiting book two, some last minute reveals have set up us up for an intense continuation.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. And I’m definitely here for the next one in the series. The author does a great job of balancing tension throughout the whole story with the main characters’ mounting attraction pulling them towards each other, but their mutual inability to fully trust each other pushing them away from each other. I enjoyed a lot of the concepts and I’m interested in learning more about the world and why it is set up the way it is. BUT (and this is specifically for the author and I dearly hope she reads this ) for the love of all that’s holy please get yourself a better team of editors. Because however you are editing right now? Isn’t enough. Some things were definitely missed. In fact, I will present you the two examples that bothered me the most. 1) In the very beginning a fringe character mentions that sleep “alludes” her. The correct word is “eludes”. Two very different words with very different meanings but very similar sounds. 2) There’s a paragraph where you mention the main character’s eyes being heavily lined with “coal”. The correct word here is actually “kohl” and while it looks like it would be pronounced like “coal” it’s actually pronounced more like “cola” (although that’s not fully accurate either to be honest, but I’m just trying to give you an idea of the sound difference). It’s a Middle Eastern type of eyeliner and has gone by other names in other countries both in Asia and Africa. It often has cultural and spiritual significance, so it would be a good idea to look into it before referencing it in your books. There were other smaller mistakes that I noticed, but those two honestly bothered me quite a bit as they really should have been caught by your editor. And if you aren’t paying to have an editor, then you really should be. You’re a good author, please don’t hold yourself back by not investing in the proper support.
