The Stars Are Dying by Chloe C/ Penaranda is the first book in the Nytefall Trilogy. Astraea only knows safety in seclusion. She remembers nothing from before five years ago and she is determined to find her past even if it means leaving her safety. 

 

I am so conflicted. I thought we would have a pretty good idea of the plot here. She goes off to find who she is and what happened. However, that really doesn’t happen. It kind of starts too than tapers off and it totally changes direction. I also felt like it got confusing at times and that the author was just throwing popular tropes at you. 

 

With all that being said I did like it overall. Did I think it was fantastic writing not really but it was interesting enough and the ending had enough of a cliffhanger to keep me wanting to read the next book. I hope the second book has better flow and direction though.
