The Night the Stars Fell by Amber D. Lewis

5.0

I love magic, and boy does this book have it. Astra and her twin Kato are your typical brother sister relationship, but can talk to each other in their minds. I like how they each of have own talents but are willing to help and teach each other. Kato teaching Astra how to fight definitely will help her very early on in the book.
From the start you dislike the twins father, and when he tells Astra that she must marrying this awful man that’s when I knew that I really didn’t like him. This takes place two or three days before their 18th birthday.
While at the festival that happens around their birthday, Astra runs into the beautiful stranger. I knew he would be important. I just couldn’t decided if he was the prince or someone who is close to the prince. Turns out that he is the captain of the prince’s royal guard. He and Astra and immediately are taken with each other. I love a good love story. Meeting the prince and his guard is when all the trouble begins.
Okay, for those looking for certain tropes that I am a sucker for
Magic ✅
Powerful magic ✅
Royalty ✅
Banned magic ✅
Love triangle ✅
The drama of a love triangle ✅
On the run/outlaws ✅
Fighting within the group because of the situation ✅
Found family ✅
And most importantly
Betrayal ✅
Oh man. This book messed with my emotions towards the end. I woke up earlier so I can read more before school. I needed to know what was going to happen!

I had the opportunity to be part of Amber’s ARC Team. The sad part is now I have to wait longer before the second book comes out.
