#BookReview: A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows (Stars and Shadows #1) by Holly Renee @lexilikestoread






Synopsis: Destiny or desire?

Where does your allegiance lie?

I am told my union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn’t my betrothed who haunts my dreams. It’s the half-breed prince who stands at his side.

He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers promises of wickedness in my ear, I crave a man who I can’t have.

Every thought I have is treasonous. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful.

Even my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect.

But when the kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make choices I’m not prepared for. Our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel so shall my fate. Betray a kingdom or betray my heart.


A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is book one in the Stars and Shadows Series and will end in a cliffhanger.

My Review: 
Within the pages of "A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows" you get to know Adara, a young Human girl who was betrothed to a fae prince as a young child due to a blessing bestowed upon her at birth, that of the Starblessed, blessing which is visible by the star marks on her body. On the day she is to leave her family and travel to her new home she encounters a group of Royal guards, one of whom she is inexplicably drawn to. 

With this tale we follow the feelings, and fears, that Adara has for her new life, as well as the feelings that she's developing for the half brother that she isn't supposed to give a second thought to. Her union with her betrothed is foretold to either bring salvation or ruin to the kingdom - but she wants no part of either prophesy.

Fans of the Sarah J. Maas universe will especially be drawn to the story unfolding before them.
