I have been waiting so patiently to read the finale of the Starminster series after becoming a HUGE fan of the first book. Although I never wanted the series to end, I was desperate to return to London Overhead one last time and discover what lay ahead for Astrid and the City of Wings.
I must have said this hundreds of times, but the front cover of Starminster: The City of Wings is honestly one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen—and it’s even better in person with its stunning shiny text. This is definitely a book that will be proudly displayed in my reading room for a long time!
In this final installment, Astrid and her best friends - Pent, Mason and Lock - face their greatest challenge yet. The ceramacists’ enchantment is failing, meaning London Overhead (and all the Librae within it) are at risk of being exposed to the world below. With time running out and Astrid’s wings still not working as they should, the group must race to uncover the cause and save everything they love.
There are far too many things I adored to list them all: returning to beloved characters, the magical setting, and the friendships that have grown so beautifully across the series. But the true highlight for me was the incredible storytelling. Every question, every mystery, every cliffhanger from the previous books is tied together so perfectly. Megan Hopkins is an absolute genius, and this felt like the most satisfying and complete ending I could have hoped for.
The plot twists just kept coming (some huge, some subtle) and I genuinely found myself gasping, fuming and cheering as I read (all in one sitting!).
🌟Totally addictive, brilliantly written, and filled with themes of bravery, patience, friendship and self-belief. A perfect ending to a truly special series - 1 million stars!🌟

So many series can't do two or three well but I'm pleased to report this series is still good!
I'm hoping there will be more, this author is great!
