Jase Bluestar soon finds himself aiding one of the last Nightstar Princesses in order for her to escape Lord Brohain's revenge and return to the Resistance.

There is a sense of longing and loss while reading. Sweet words that convey it may not be okay now, but that may not be the future. Jase is very family driven. His set up is slow and loving. He is currently planning for a heist and I feel the ramp towards action.

Skyrah, I am loving her arrogance and how Jase has no room for her authority.

What are Bluestar abilities? Oh, and before I forget, the Androids remind me of the movie, "Alita: Battle Angel."

This entire epic was obviously a labor of love. So much thought went into the world building, making it an immersive and engaging experience.

My only real hang up was the pacing in some places feeling a little dragged out and the prologue feeling a little out of place. I felt like it should have been told through Jase’s eyes so we could learn information about his world from him. Also the fact that the prologue makes you sympathetic toward the sisters and want to follow their journey as well, but since we’re immediately passed off to Jase, it’s a tiny bit disappointing. That’s probably me being nitpicky because of the sheer number of books I read, but it did stand out to me so I felt it was worth noting.

All in all, though, it’s not just an epic because of its length. It’s definitely an epic journey through the stars and worth the read.
