The Stars are Dying by Chloe C. Peñaranda

2.0

---

This book started out with so much potential and then just turned into fuck all lol. The big twist was Nyte was secretly Nightsdeath? Like, girl, c'mon, let's use our brain here. And obviously she’s the star maiden and obviously the pills she thought she needed were poison. The trials she had to face were like nothing- a huge let down that this thing they build up as like the hunger games is just a mind test where you decide to say no and win. For all 5. Each trial is like 2 pages long. And then the last 100 pages are just whiplash of confusion and what the fuck is going on- we love Nyte, but we hate him, betrayal, but we trust him, everyone's lying, but I love everyone so much, I've secretly been keeping my friend's soul this whole time. Like what the fuck is going on.
