What was happening? WHY was it happening? WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE IT WAS HAPPENING? WHAT IS THIS BOOK EVEN ABOUT??? Adara is a Starblessed human who's promised to the Fae prince and it's said that their union will determine the fate of their kingdom. That’s it, princess. Scream my name while they eagerly await you. You are their savior but my demise. You are to ruin every part of me.” I fell in love with him from their first encounter. He's the Captain of the Guard — mysterious, dark and intriguing who hides a possessive, caring and intense man and has such a dirty mouth ... Lastly, and most importantly, this is an obvious ripoff of several different series. After doing some research, I discovered the obvious “copy and paste” in the third book. Stealing intellectual property is shameful. Usually I don’t judge an author’s character, even they write a shitty book. But after learning that, I have lost all respect for this author.

And when Adara meets Evren, their attraction is instantaneous, but their relationship is forbidden.

The writing is easy to get into and given the fact that it's fast-paced and short, one could easily read it in one sitting. Adara feels betrayed by his lies and I get her feelings about it but how could he had revealed these things to her in fear she would tell someone else, and his plans for years would be destroyed? He is a traitor to the Fae court; he is a spy and has access to so much information and resources that losing it all would be costly and destroy whatever it is they wanted to accomplish. Adara is Starblessed and fated to be the savior of the world and marry Gavril who is the crown prince of the Fae. However, it is Evren his half older brother (also captain of the guard) who she is connected to and falls for...and we find out that Evren is half fae from his father and half vampyre from his mothers side.

Now what is Starblessed? Well, it means her blood is filled with power and whoever drinks from her will be able to take that power and use it to their advantage which after many Starblessed have come and gone nobody was able to be as powerful as Adara....they need her power to protect the world from the Blood Court aka Vampyres. I could overlook this, if at least it gave me some emotion. But nope, in tune with the romance, this gave me nothing except for a weird urge to re-read Sea of Ruin. Type: A Kingdom of Stars & Shadows is part of the Stars & Shadows series and ends on a cliffhanger. I would go as far as to say A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is one of my favorite books of the year. In fact, if this series keeps moving in the direction it is now, it might just become one of my top fantasy series of all time. I know that's high praise, but with how much I enjoyed this read, it deserves it!Betrothed to the crowned prince of Citlali, Gavril Achlys, the Starblessed, Adara, is taken to Achlys Palace to fulfill her destiny. A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is a fantasy romance featuring Fae and Vampyres and it's perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash.
