A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows

2.5 stars

This could have been amazing if there was just a few chapters at the start with some world building and some character description but no, we are plonked in the most non-descript world with absolutely no explanation of anyone or anywhere. I literally could not tell you a description of a single character apart from the ‘magic marks' on Adara, and even then we have no idea what they look like or how she got them.

I think the writing was good and the story compelling but because of the above, it felt totally surface level and I had very little connection to it. I really wanted to love this.
