Stardust in Their Veins by Laura Sebastian
4.0

Stardust in their Veins is book 2 of Castles in their Bones.
We get a a good mix between Daphne and Beatriz’s POVs with some other POVs sprinkled in.
There is a lot of world building and character development in these books which make the “payoff” of the books worth it. These were not books I was able to binge, but ended up rating both 4/5. This one would have rated even higher if there wasn’t a lull towards the middle of the book.
I loved Daphnes POV the most but want more of Violie and Gisella in book 3.
.
There are forced marriages, betrayals, unique magic and powerful female MCs which I love.
I was lucky enough to get approved by NetGalley for book one which is why I think I got book two. I didn’t realize it was the same story until I started reading it because the covers were so different but I’m hoping I get approved for book 3.
.
I would recommend this series to fantasy lovers who don’t want a focus on romance. It is YA so even though I think the characters are well developed, there is no smut (if you care about that). I’m not sure how I’ll be able to wait for book 3!
