First things first: I’ve never been a huge fan of companion novels. Certain experiences in the past have caused me to become jaded. I feel as if I’m reading the exact same story as the original, just from someone else’s point of view. Generally that’s the case, and it’s just not my thing. I usually feel like I got enough of the story the first time around. Unless there’s enough of a contrast from the first book, there’s simply no good reason for me to read the other characters side.

With that said, I was pleasantly surprised by Gus’ story in this sequel. He was an intriguing character in Of Stardust so I felt compelled to know more about him when I heard about this second book. In Starlight took me on a new journey, deep into the heart of Gus’ world, and that’s what I liked most about it.

In Starlight is another fantastical tale by February Grace filled with magic and romance — my favorite kind of fantasy. While the authors style is very whimsical at times, I appreciate the thought that goes into breathing life into her characters. I’m glad I decided to take a chance with this one. If you enjoyed the first book, you’ll certainly want to shoot for the stars again with this sequel. I mean, hey… it is Gus! *swoon*

I would like to thank Wendy at Booktrope and February Grace for sending me a copy of this in exchange for a fair and honest review.

We catch up with Gus and Till after the end of the first book where Gus had his one true wish granted. The book is told from Gus’s point of view which was refreshing as Of Stardust was told from Till’s point of view.

Gus is trying desperately to keep his feelings under control as he doesn’t want Till to know what has happened between them. As Till grows more distant Gus begins to wonder why, especially as she begins to forget things.

Gus and Till are really lovely main characters, I found myself liking them more and more.

This is a really great story about fairy godparents, I really liked the characters in the first book and I grew to love them more in this. I was really shocked that one of the characters turned out to be so evil, but I won’t spoil the book by telling you who this is, you need to read it to find out.

I love Bru’s books and would recommend them to anyone who likes a fantasy with added romance.

February Grace does it again! I loved In Starlight, the second book after Of Starlight. Told from Gus' point of view, February Grace weaves in her trademark lyrical writing style. I finished this book in one sitting. It is beautiful and lovely and also kept me in anticipation to see if Till and Gus would ever have their happy ever after. No spoilers here, you're going to have to read it to find out.
You will be happy that you did.
