A review by quinzelle
All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
2.0
I started this book at the beginning of February 2024. I wanted to like this book. I wanted to like this book a LOT because it hit all of my fantasy buttons. Pirates, mermaids, queer rep. But the writing was hard to get through and I DNF'd the book at Chapter 20. The worldbuilding and magic system is unparalleled. It has one of the best magic systems I've seen in fantasy and I've read a lot of fantasy. The worldbuilding was intricate to the point where I wanted to eat the ginnada Amora talks about in early chapters.
That being said, the writing of the book and the pacing of the book is so hard to get through. I'm chalking it up to it being Grace's first official release since I've heard that her other series, Belladonna, is really good. She's most likely finding her footing and her voice as an author. If you can get through that, I'm absolutely sure that the book will be rewarding for you, but I just couldn't get through it and I wanted to simply move on.
