A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth

2.0

Finished!! It started slow but picked up and I LOVED the end!! Still deciding on how to rate it though, because the Arlo and Nausicaa chapters are amazing and I love them so so much but the aeurelian and vehan chapaters weren’t really that good until the last 150 pages or so— it felt mostly filler and info dumping before then, and I had a little bit of a hard time differentiating between them at the start, they felt like carbon copies of each other!! The hero chapters were confusing because they felt like HUGE info dumps and nothing else, but I’m glad I had them because otherwise there would have been no foreshadowing at all for the ending. But I loved the arlo and nausicaa chapters so much!!
