BOOK REVIEW: Of the Stars by A.M. Alcedo
👉🏻 A therapy session in a book. Go heal yourself.
I have so many good things to say about Of the Stars. Indie author @writemindedlefthanded has created a beautiful fantasy story with gorgeous prose and raw vulnerability. The magical world is stellar (haha, see what I did there) and the characters are written so well I feel like I know them.
Tackling difficult topics like grief, loss, and the healing that comes after and building a beautiful father-daughter-esque relationship between Dex and Norah, I found myself crying constantly, sniffling my way between chapters in the best possible way.
This is a character-driven book, with a plot that takes its time so the reader can feel, process, and enjoy every second.
