"To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women and three men join forces to pick up the pieces... Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Her visions lead her to the Greek island of Corfu, where five others have been lured to seek the fire star. Sasha recognizes them, because she has drawn them: a magician, an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter, loner. All on a quest. All with secrets. Sasha is the one who holds them together - the seer."--

I wasn't into the writing style, especially the overdramatic drop of pronouns: “Stopped what she was doing, heard a rustle.” (quoted almost verbatim from the book)
I didn't feel invested in any of the characters, especially not whiny Sasha or Bran “Mary Sue” Killian. Plus, I didn't understand why she got all pissed at him for not having told her he was a wizard, cos I mean, didn't she dream of him and his lightning bolts? You'd have thought that she'd be the least surprised member of the party. In one chapter, the actual “strategising” on how they were going to search for the fallen stars was relegated to a cursory single short paragraph: “They spent one hour strategising...” (Not quoting verbatim here because I'm too lazy to find the actual quote in the book, but that was the gist) The rest of the chapter is dedicated to Sasha and Bran getting to know each other in a romantic walk on the beach. Gee.
The last straw came after a short dialogue between Riley and Sasha when Sasha asks Riley to teach her “how to fight”.
“Okay, see, you're punching like a girl.”“I am a girl.”“Nobody's a girl in a fight. You're a fighter. ...”
These are two women, by the way.
