Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray
4.0
I wasn’t too sure on how I was going to rate this. But in the end I was won out by the beauty of the growing relationship between the two main characters and the journey the MMC took to finding his humanity.
It’s a bonus that I really liked the characters, even though the FMC was slightly too selfless it bordered on unrealistic. She could’ve been written to be a bit more human with some believable flaws. She was written to be too good, too caring and even though the author repeatedly told us she has a bad temper, to offset this, we never really saw it.
On top of this book just really touching me, it was well written and felt like an actual book. That’s an art that’s been lost these days, especially in the romance genre where authors write more like they’re still on fan fiction sites.
Although I really loved reading this book, it did border on the slightly boring side. So I’m still considering whether or not I’m interested in reading the next two books. Especially because the main characters are most likely going to be separated for most of the book and I really when authors do that!
So overall all the 4★ are more just about how the book made me feel. In actuality maybe the rating should be a bit lower, I don’t know.
