Thoughts/Would I Recommend This?-
I was a bit confused at the beginning about the fmc powers and her story and other things like that. It was also pretty hard book to really get into and like. I literally read about 4 other books while trying to get through this, which honestly just speaks for itself and how hard it was to get through this book. I did really like the last 30ish% of the book and got way more into it after I got through the beginning, which is why I rated it a 2.5 and not a 1 star. I did still just felt it was lacking something and a bit confusing to be honest. So all in all I didn’t love this book but, I do think other people may like this way more than I did, but I just didn’t love it and wouldn’t really recommend it if I’m being honest.

honestly, not what I expected going into this! Took me a bit to get into it but it was worth the wait. I'm a sucker for a courageous character and slow burn tension.

The world building of this book was so good. I loved the different types of people and that they are trying to unite the people. Fia is such a strong woman and I loved reading her story. This fantasy world was so entertaining and interesting. I was loving every second of this book.

Holy cow is this an amazing read! Not sure what I was expecting but I got so much more than I even could pretend to have seen coming. Fia is fearless as she just completely dives headfirst into danger in order to rescue Castus... only she meets Aratah first. He's the legit definition of trouble, but that just makes it fun. The chemistry, the tension are all top notch and the stakes are extremely high. The morally gray decisions to be made, and the off-the charts power dynamics kept me turning the pages with eagerness. Such a perfect read for ones that love dark fantasy!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Starlight Books for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

Blood of Starlight is a tale of power, sacrifice, and dangerous alliances, following Fia as she plunges into a cursed mountain to save Castus, only to find herself entangled with the dark and magnetic Aratah. The slow-burn tension, morally gray decisions, and complex power dynamics had me completely hooked. I loved how Fia is caught between fate and choice, testing the limits of her own strength. This book is perfect for readers who enjoy dark fantasy with high stakes and a touch of irresistible intrigue.

Okay, someone needs to check on me because Blood of Starlight just snatched my soul and refused to give it back. Fia dives headfirst into danger to save Castus, but oh no, enter Aratah—mysterious, powerful, and the definition of trouble. Their chemistry? Sparks. The stakes? Ridiculously high. The twists? Jaw-dropping. This book had me screaming, “Fia, girl, be careful!” every other chapter, and I loved every second of it. If you’re into slow-burn tension, impossible choices, and morally complicated characters, this is your next obsession. 🌙🔥📖

Solid first book in the a Romantasy trilogy.

I definitely struggled at the beginning as there wasn't a lot of scene setting and explanations on her powers, or even a description of what she looked like so I struggled to connect with Fia.

I really enjoyed the gothic vibes, and it really came through with the story.

I love a morally grey MMC, but struggled to see their connection at points but there is definitely potential!

I really enjoyed the plot twist, and I'm also excited to find out with Amaris is!
