Soul of Stars by Ashley Poston

5.0

This is most definitely my second favorite book of 2019!

The best thing about this duology is it’s an Anastasia retelling set in space and the queer rep is unreal!!

“Love was stubborn, and love was impatient, and thoughtless and self-centered and vainglorious. It hid in the crevices of your soul when you thought it had run away, and it never left-like a scar: deep and ugly and endearing.”

I remember reading Heart of Iron last year, and loving it! Tops, one of my favorite books last year. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the sequel, but Poston did a great job tying everything together; even though it is clear she picked from Star Wars and Star Trek for world building and whatnot, lol!

I started out giving this book 5 stars, but I think, since writing this review, it’s now 4.5 stars. I’ve come across a few minor problems that do change my view towards the book and duology overall.
