Book Review: Reign of Silver & Stardust
I was never supposed to survive.
As the mortal spare to an immortal sister, I lived in the shadows
until Ry was murdered by a weapon that shouldn't exist.
Now, justice is all I want.
To find her killer, I must take her place in the Queen’s Elite Cadre
and become the very monster everyone fears.
But becoming a weapon means losing my humanity…
and losing the one man I can't resist.
VALOREK
The immortals bleed my world dry while my sister rots from the inside out.
I swore to burn their reign to the ground,
until I met her.
Sterling is the enemy,
a silver-blooded soldier of the regime that destroyed my family.
But the electricity between us is undeniable.
We are on opposite sides of a brewing war,
and falling for the enemy is a dangerous mistake
neither of us can afford.
My Review
I was pulled into the story when I first started reading. The first chapter draws you in with the sisterly bond that Catalina and Ry shared as well as the intrigue of the mission. After that, I was still intrigued for a few more chapters but then I must admit that my interest did go down.
I felt like the story took a step back because it was setting the groundwork for what was to come. So, there was not a lot of action that happened. Catalina and Valorek were getting to know each other. There was a bit of an instant spark, but it was a slow growing burn.
I don't know why but I kind of got space opera vibes. This is a good thing. Think of this is a form of romantasy. There is potential in this story. I just wished that it moved at a faster pace with the action picking up sooner.
