The Starless Girl by Liz Delton
5.0
The Starless Girl, Realm of Camellia book one, is a strong start and has me hooked and ready to dive into the next book right away.
Told from the POV of Kira, a teenage girl who has just suffered a profound loss that, for reasons unknown to her, changes her perception of reality, The Starless Girl is a well-written and perfectly-paced journey of self-discovery, and one where you'll be rooting for the MC throughout.
Delton makes some excellent narrative choices early on. The conflicting incident is introduced early, and the new world of Camellia is quickly brought into the story so both Kira and the reader are able to explore and understand it. I enjoyed the Japanese influence present in Camellia, and Kira is a capable and well-rounded character to spend time with.
For fans of series like Percy Jackson or The Kingkiller Chronicles, and a book I'd heartily recommend.
