The Stars Could Save Us (Book 2 of The Stars Would Curse Us Series)
Authors: Stephanie Combs and Valerie Rivers
Release Date: February 26, 2025
Star Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Scoville Spice Scale: 🌶 ¾
This is one of my most anticipated books of 2024. The conclusion to The Stars Would Curse Us series by the Award Winning Sister Author Team of Stephanie Combs and Valerie Rivers. If you have not read the 1st book of the series, STOP! Even though this is going to be as spoiler free as possible, if you haven't read the first book, you need to read it before this one. I also recommend reading The Stars Couldn't Break Us, a novella.
After the cliffhanger of the first book, I was left reeling. The characters were left in impossible situations. Aella & Arianwen both were heartbroken. The situation was in shambles. The King emboldened, the Rebellion desperate, Prince Kaleidos scrambling for the safety of those he cares for.
I spent this book gasping, crying, screaming "No, No, NO!" and "YEEEEEESSSSSS". This sister duo of authors have absolutely blown me away with a piece of the long game they played. Oh, the key. THE KEY! Round of applause on this whole series.
I will be posting a more indepth review. For now, make sure you read the first book and novella, and then read this book for:
✨️ Amazing Worldbuilding
✨️ Chosen One
✨️ Incredible Beasts
✨️ Love Triangle
✨️ Elemental Magic
✨️ Truth & Consequences
✨️ Reunions
✨️ True Mates
✨️ Revolving Door of Emotions
✨️ She may be silver but he's Morally Gray
I would like to thank @stephdevourerofbooks and @valerieriversauthor for trusting me with this Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.
