I thought this was an overall pretty cute love story between two different people, but I wouldn’t call it stand out in anyway.
I enjoyed most of the aspects of Of Fire and Stars. The relationship between Denna and Mare was cute and easy to get invested in, despite feeling a bit rushed. I thought the world building was well established early on and was interesting. I enjoyed everything I learned about the world and how it worked, and it was fairly easy to understand.
My biggest issues with the book were mostly poor foreshadowing, weird tonal inconsistencies in scenes, and some actions on the part of the characters that felt unrealistic. I didn’t find any of these particularly egregious though and they didn’t ruin my enjoyment.
Overall it’s a fairly simple fantasy romance that was easy to enjoy.
