Starcrossed by Allie Therin
4.0
These characters warm my heart. They feel like friends, like people I've known for a long time. Even ones we haven't seen much, like Sasha and Pavel.
Though Arthur's family annoyed me quite a bit in this, for both historical reasons and plot reasons. The historical reasons I can deal with because they make sense. But it seemed a bit of a stretch to involve John and then never really do more with that. It wasn't even revisited, except for him to say he hadn't had the dream again. He's a smart guy; I think he would've been a bit more curious.
This one felt like a second book. It lagged a little. I still very much enjoyed it and could not read it fast enough, but it didn't have the same shine, the same intrigue that the first one cultivated. And the historical accuracy still bugged me. I'd love to learn more about Sebastian, though!
