Star Touched: Fae Bound #6
Stolen Star
They’re bound by love. Hunted by fate. And the only way to save the world… is to survive each other.
After surviving gods, curses, and a kiss that fused their souls, Sapphire and Riven are finally united.
In name. In power. In purpose. In marriage.
Their mission now is travel to the Summer Court to solidify a political alliance, gather the forces needed to stop the Night Court, and rescue Zoey from the hands of the enemy before it’s too late.
But nothing about this journey is safe. Not the assassins hiding among their own guard, and certainly not the secrets lingering between them.
Because Sapphire is haunted by visions of herself as a killer, standing over the people she loves. And Riven, once the cold and calculating Winter Prince, is unraveling in his love for Sapphire after she brought him back from death by fusing her soul to his. The more his feelings consume him, the harder it is to lead. And if he slips, he could destroy everything he’s trying to protect.
Together, Sapphire and Riven are stronger than ever.
But strength doesn't matter if they can't navigate the intense bond that links their souls—one that could either save them or lead them both into darkness.
Stolen Star is perfect for readers who devoured the obsessive soul-bond of Fourth Wing, the enemies-to-lovers tension of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the high-stakes magic of From Blood and Ash.
Get ready
- Soulmates/magical bond
- Touch her and die
- Only soft for her

If you love books with magic-soaked worlds, brutal fae politics, dagger-to-the-throat tension, and soulmates who would destroy everything for each other, Stolen Star will ruin you—in the best way possible.
Start reading now and step into a world where love is dangerous, magic is deadly, and fate always has a cost.

This is going to be a challenging review. I am very fond of Ms Maddow's writing (I think she is by far in the top tier of younger independent fantasy writers) & I really enjoy her books.
So we'll start with the positive!
In book 6, we've got great character & plot development. I read the book in less than 24 hours (which means I liked it).
Where I had a problem was the extreme obsession/love addiction by the 2 couples (even the author acknowledges in the afterward that it was obsessive). And being a "recovering" love addict myself who never found my soul mate/HEA that focus in all of her books is almost certainly part of what draws me to her writing. In this book, I do feel she went a bit overboard on that subject & with emotional submission.
Hopefully, she'll back off a bit on the obsession in book 7, which per the afterward MAY be the last book in the series, though there are still a lot of plot issues to resolve, & I am looking forward to #7. I should also be clear, I've really enjoyed the series.
I am assuming that to at least a degree, the writing style is true to who she is, & I think the author would be a fascinating person to meet.
At any rate, despite some of my comments above, again I have really enjoyed this series & can't wait for the next book!

eager to see what happens next
Sapphire and Riven have been through so much, but now they’re finally together, in every way that matters and stronger than ever. With love as their anchor, they’re setting off on a new mission. Will they be successful or will they need to find a new way to defeat the Night Court?
Author Michelle Madow takes us on a journey filled with betrayal, love, and sacrifice, all while keeping us guessing at every turn. Her vivid, detailed scenes play out like a movie in your mind, and the cliffhanger ending left me eager to see what happens next. I’m really looking forward to Book 7, and I’m hoping everyone gets their happy ending!

Binged it within a day. The writing and the plot were amazing as always. Sapphire and Riven's love for each other is as strong as ever and as for Zoey and Aerix. Their story just keeps throwing new twists in each book. I'm almost worried about what will happen when Sapphire and Zoey meet during the war. Zoey's nothing like the friend she left behind any more and it's bound to be a massive shock. Looking forward to that reunion more than ever now.
June 15, 2025
Awesome story continuing on with Riven and Sapphire's journey to obtain "the ember" to use to defeat the dark fae and save Zoey. Meanwhile Zoey and Aerix deepen their love for each other or so it seems? Can't wait for next book in series!
June 14, 2025
Mchelle does it again with the cliffhanger ugh!! This book was amazing but my true love in this book was Aerix and Zoey. Why!? Well you going to need to read the book but the darkness towards the end had me on my toes.

While Sapphire and Riven search for Ember the tool that will aid in breaking the barrier into the night court Zoey is falling deeper for Aerix so much so that she makes a decision that will change her life forever an it’s not just becoming Aerix consort and finally being released from her rooms to wonder amongst the night fae proving to everyone human and fae once and for all that she is more than just a pet for Aerix but his one true love the next stage is to be with Aerix forever to give up her old life and be changed into an immortal being for Zoey there is no choice she will never be weak again and this way she can stay with Aerix forever she just has to survive the change

I rarely write reviews but I feel the need this time. I have been enjoying all of Michelle’s series, including this one but… this book was a hard read. I forced myself to read it and I had to skim over some chapters when it was Riven/Sapphire because it was so repetitive/boring. They were irritating with their obsession of each other, mainly Riven. It was too much. The only chapters I enjoyed were of Zoey and Aerix. I’m hoping the next book is better.

I am simply obsessed with this series. It has me in a chokehold. Both relationships are so different yet they kind of reflect each other and I think it’s beautiful. I can never wait for the next book !!!!

I sincerely appreciate how much time we have gotten with these characters! I just love Sapphire and Riven together. They complement each other in every possible way. Their road has not been easy by any means, but their relationship is finally where it was always meant to be.
Zoey... she has changed during her time with the night fae. I'm almost afraid of what Sapphire is going to think and how their reunion will go. And Aerix, he seems to truly care for Zoey, at least as much as his kind can.
I know they're fictional characters, but they're so well developed they feel real to me. It's like visiting with friends. So cozy and welcoming back into its pages.
Maybe one book left to the series. I'm so excited for it! This is my favorite series by Michelle Madow so far.

Stolen Star is another thrilling addition to the Star Touched series. This time, we follow Sapphire and Riven on a high-stakes quest to recover the ember—an ancient source of power with game-changing potential. Their journey is packed with action, magic, and just enough romantic tension to keep things interesting.
Meanwhile, Zoey and Aerix get more page time in the Night Court than in previous books, and it’s clear their connection is deepening. At least Zoey thinks so as she seems happy there—which makes Sapphire’s upcoming rescue mission all the more complicated. I’m hooked wondering how they’ll handle that very obvious emotional obstacle when the moment of truth comes.
Fast-paced, magical, and full of heart—this one’s a must-read for fans of the series.

The more the series progresses, the better the books become. And trust me all the books are good. This one is much darker than the others and it's honestly a style that suits Michelle Madow very well. I really hope to see more darness in her future series.
Zoey and Aerix's story is dark and intense. Saphire and Riven are obsessed with each other. Despite a darker side to their story too, I'm happy to see that their mocking and flirtatious side is still there.
And what about the cliffhanger. Really looking forward to reading the conclusion but sad to leave these characters that I loved so much soon.

I love this series, although to be truthful, I have loved all the books by this author.
Sapphire and Riven travel to the Summer Court, although not without danger and betrayal along the way. The Summer Queen sends them on a quest to bring back the only object that will help them defeat the Night Court.
Meantime, Zoey has had a taste of power and wants more. Aerix is quite willing to give it to her.
No-one knows exactly what is coming when Sapphire and Zoey will find themselves on opposite sides.

Book six and we rejoin Sapphire and River and they are together and stronger than ever! Their journey in this is exciting and thrilling, gripping and totally captivating and we have seen these extraordinary characters go through so much and grow so much that they feel like family. And then there is Zoey and Aerix who seem to have gotten closer during their time together in the night court which complicates things as Sapphire is on her way to save Zoey. Twists and turns continue to be thrown in our path and keeps us hooked and glued to the pages and I am excited for the next book.

What a story! Riven and Sapphire set off to the summer court with a retinue of guards who end up betraying them. Using a gift from his father, Riven saves them but it costs him deeply. At the summer court, they learn they must travel to Italy to retrieve one last object, an ember that can bring down the night court wards.
Meanwhile, Zoey is going crazy being locked up. So Arix introduces her as his consort. But she wants more, wants to be more. And Arix is going to give it all to her.
Such a great continuation of the story!

Wow, no. I wish I didn't want to see the end of this series. These books have certain cringe vibes that I am very worried she won't address.
All the characters are frustrating. I can't stand the one dimensional trash characters. There is also a ton ton ton of manipulation that is not being addressed that again is giving of terrible cringe vibes.
I am wondering if the author is going through something because her books lately have not been on point.

Not sure why this is receiving good reviews. It was a bunch of whiny drivel. So much of the book was repetitive about Sapphire and Riven's all consuming love. It was so boring. I looked forward to Aerix an Zoey but even that started to become repetitive with their love and her touching the spot where the flesh meets feather on his back. I think I read that at least 3 times in the last couple of chapters. I'm hoping the final book is better because this was just a waste of time.

So, book six in the series and it’s the same as the others, a little cracker. I love this series, Have done since book one. This one is ful of twists and turns all the way through to the cliffhanger we all know is coming. I liked it immensely. What on earth is the next one going to be like, for gods sake. I cannot wait to find out. Highly recommended.
June 20, 2025
Part of the story. Continuation and I feel as if I’m in the story. Going from Sapphire and Riven to Zoey and Aerix is a whirlwind of action and emotion. So much going on with so much intense passion and obsession. Sad bits but overall a great read. And we are left wanting more at the end. I received a copy from BookFunnel to voluntarily leave an honest review.

Sapphire and Rivens story has been a difficult one for them to navigate. Now that they are finally together and were they need to be they are stronger. I love how we get two characters and couples in this series and the growth each character needs. I love how in depth this world is and can't wait for more.

Bloody encounters & monsters & consuming love, oh my!
Betrayal, guilt, violence and grief surround Sapphire and Riven on their terrifying adventures while at the Night Court Zoey and Aerix' dark, twisted relationship keeps evolving toward destruction. This sixth book of the series is heart-pounding suspense, passionate and action personified!

Great, another cliffhanger, but what do you expect? Such a great addition to the series. I'm excited to see how all the changes the characters are going thru are going to end. Still waiting to see when Sapphire meets Daddy and when all the Star Touched meet up.

It's definitely not my favorite from the set
This book annoyed me a lot, and I had a hard time finishing it. It was beyond sappy, and the constant over and over and over obsession and phrases repeated constantly were just too much for me.

fantastic read!
Well I didn’t expect to love both couples . I know the knight count is siding with the blood coven and I don’t know what will happen next! How will the characters react to each other?

Good Installment
I loved this installment but felt like it was drug out a little more than necessary. About 2/3 through I started to get bored with it. I feel bad saying that because I love her books.

Saddened that Zoey chose to die and become a vampire. She can't go back home now. Although she could go live in New York with the other vampires.
