Secrets of the Starcrossed
by Clara O'Connor
Secrets of the Starcrossed is the first book in The Once and Future Queen Trilogy by Clara O’Connor. The story takes place in Londinium, a place where the Roman Empire never fell. It is narrated through the eyes of Cassandra Shelton who is engaged to the most eligible bachelor in the city, Marcus Courtenay. The people of Londinium live by a set of rules known as the Code and anyone who doesn’t follow the Code is punished accordingly on the sands. Cass always followed the Code that is until she crossed paths with Devyn Agrestis.
I absolutely loved everything about this book!!
I enjoyed watching the world being built piece by piece until it became this intriguing place that I never wanted to leave. I enjoyed most of the characters except for the obvious ones which I won’t mention because I don’t want to spoil anything. The storyline had me hooked from the very start and the secrets throughout the story left me wanting to know more. I enjoyed learning about the different bloodlines and types of people such as Shadowers.
I found Cass to be annoying, naive and selfish at first but then I found myself liking her a lot more as her character became more complex while discovering her true self. Marcus was a lot nicer than what I thought he would be because of who his father was. I actually really liked him and I think that he deserved a lot better that what he got. I loved Devyn and how mysterious he was. I could tell that the chemistry between Cass and Devyn was instant, I loved how it amplified when they were close to each other or when they touched. The two of them were definitely starcrossed lovers and Cass was “willing to set the world alight to keep him safe”.
The ending for me was brutal and totally surprising. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book.
I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.
