The amazing sequel to A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR that I simply could not put down.
A CRUEL AND FATED LIGHT really dove into character development and we learned so much more about each character’s wants and dreams. I was loving the role of Celadon and Theo in this book, they really helped propel the series forward.
Yet another appreciation review regarding the LGBTQ+ rep- letting the readers know Celadon is ace really made me feel seen as an asexual individual myself. I would love to see this expanded upon. The queer diversity in this book is incredible.
The first 500 pages or so, I was loving the vibes and the pacing of the story. I was loving spending time in the characters’ world and getting to know them. Then. The last one hundred and fifty pages had me pulling my hair and screaming. How could you Ashley Shuttleworth!!!! HOW COULD YOU END IT LIKE THAT!!!!!
5/5 stars, I can’t wait for the next book!!
