It is a good sequel to its predecessor. The author does recap events from Castles in Their Bones in a way that doesn’t feel too much like info dumping. Unfortunately, this sequel felt too drawn out with little progress having been made. Our two main princesses are still running around, trying to outsmart their mother, who in turns always ends up being one step of them (or two or five…)
I am curious how the third one will turn out, especially if it is the end and will wrap up the story. How do you beat someone who just seems so…unbeatable?

I remember finishing the first book, [b:Castles in Their Bones|57631700|Castles in Their Bones (Castles in Their Bones, #1)|Laura Sebastian|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1635250535l/57631700._SY75_.jpg|68583401], in early February this year and imagined I would die waiting for the second book, I wouldn't, but I think there is a higher chance now! :)
And yes, I mentioned that it is not fair to choose my best book of the year in February, but now in the middle of December, I can honestly say [b:Castles in Their Bones|57631700|Castles in Their Bones (Castles in Their Bones, #1)|Laura Sebastian|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1635250535l/57631700._SY75_.jpg|68583401] and [b:Stardust in Their Veins|44098898|Stardust in Their Veins (Castles in Their Bones, #2)|Laura Sebastian|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1656944318l/44098898._SY75_.jpg|68583442] are my best reads in 2022!
My favorite girls, I loved it, every word, every page, in this case, the narrator, Roisin Rankin. I finished it last night and still thinking, what the hell just happened! and how on earth I could write something without a spoiler!?
Generally for everybody who wants to know what is this book, and to understand their huge mistake of not read it yet,
In Kingdom of Stars, seventy years old Emperor of Bessemia suddenly fathered three daughters, some rumors say princesses are born with magic. Princesses mother, Empress Margaraux educated them to fulfill one duty;
Beatriz, Daphne and Sophronia should marry one of the princes or king of Vesteria, with conspiracy and chaos drive the countries to war till their mother conquest Cellaria, Friv and Temarin.
This was a task in the first book, twist and surprise were unbelievable!
For the second book, [b:Stardust in Their Veins|44098898|Stardust in Their Veins (Castles in Their Bones, #2)|Laura Sebastian|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1656944318l/44098898._SY75_.jpg|68583442], I may warn you if did not read [b:Castles in Their Bones|57631700|Castles in Their Bones (Castles in Their Bones, #1)|Laura Sebastian|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1635250535l/57631700._SY75_.jpg|68583401], don't read the following,
About a week after the three sisters talk to each other, Beatriz was imprisoned in Cellaria and tries to figure out if is it wise to escape with her magic power and the help of Nigellus and come back to her mother!
Daphne in icy Friv still struggling with rebels and not sure whom should trust, Temarin is almost in her mother's hand and she should decide, choose her loyalty!
There is much to say and I really want to talk to someone about this book, I actually want more to scream, but this was all I could express. I think the last book I've read and felt so much tension and stress was in Martin's books! Highly recommended!
I am so grateful to Hodder & Stoughton Audio via Netgalley for ARC, I have given my honest review! Pub Date 07 Feb 2023

It's hard for me to say exactly why this world and these characters are so enjoyable to me. This book has it's flaws...as the first one did as well. There is something about this setting and these characters though that I get lost in every time I pick these books up! Can't wait for the third one!
