All the Stars Above
Warring Kingdoms. Deadly Secrets. Unclaimed Power.
Seren Corso is determined to snuff out the heretical traces of mágik that slip through the cracks in her kingdom. She strikes down mágik-wielding Rázuri with hate in her heart, a soldier taking revenge for all she has lost. Blood stains her hands, yet a part of Seren still longs for the fairytale mágik of her childhood. She feels the unbidden call of the forsaken Goddesses, and when Seren discovers that mágik runs through her own veins, the life she built for herself crumbles to dust.
Harkin Aranti will do anything to protect the ones he loves. Mercenary to a callous prince, he spills the blood of innocents. Now, Harkin must do what he never has before: convince his mark to trust him, training her fledgling mágik as she tries to kill him at every turn. Death is a looming threat, and if Harkin does not complete his task by the winter solstice, it is his family who will pay the price.
As Seren and Harkin learn more about one another, they begin to realize the truths they have always believed are not so simple, and cruel men are not to be followed blindly.
Szrestia is a country divided, its two kingdoms at war, and the past threatens to shatter their budding alliance. Seren and Harkin want to mend all that is broken, but will they be strong enough to overcome that which haunts them in time to defeat those that threaten them all?

Thank you to Hallie Morgan for the eARC in exchange for an honest review! All the Stars Above releases on March 20th!
5 / 5 ⭐️!
First off, I wanted to say the cover art is beautiful.
Second, that story was so magical! All the Stars Above was filled with banter, enemies to lovers drama, and overall just a refreshing writing style. This book is multi-POV, complex, and very beautifully written!
Seren and Harkin are our main characters, and I felt they were both so complex. The way their relationship moved from dislike to love was so heartfelt, and you could really feel the yearning and the tension between the two grow with each of their chapters! I loved the progression between them.
Also, thank Hallie Morgan for the pronounciation guide in the back, because I was struggling with some of those words HAHAHA. It really helped!
Overall, I really loved it! I'm eager to see where this series goes!
♡ pre-read ♡
read the blurb and immediately requested the ARC! so excited for this one!

First, thank you Hallie Morgan for choosing to send me an arc copy of this!! So grateful 💗
From the start this was absolutely beautiful. The writing, the story, the people, EVERYTHING 🥹 You would NEVER guess this was a debut novel with how well thought out and written everything was!!!
Obviously I keep talking about the writing, well, because it was truly a breath of fresh air. It took me a hot minute to really get into it, as it’s not typically what I tend to read, but once I did, I was blown away!! I could not get enough.
The enemies to lovers was giving ENEMIES to lovers from the beginning and I ate it up. Like the dry banter between them had me giggling so many times 🤭 I became truly obsessed with both of them (but honestly Harkin a little more because HELLO the man that he ISSSSS)
The magic (magik, I loved that name change) was so interesting to learn about and follow along. At times I was a bit lost, but that’s me with literally any fantasy lol. It felt so well thought out and I just loved it more and more the farther I got!!
This was full of found family, strong connections, great banter, an even better slow burn romance, and so much more. Hallie I’m truly so proud of you!!! This book was beyond beautiful and I’ve absolutely loved watching you become the author you are. I can’t wait to follow you along on this journey!! 💗

What a fantastic debut!!
I knew very little about this going into it other than that the synopsis sounded cool, and some of my book girlies over on booksta really enjoyed it. It didn’t disappoint.
This is that fast paced, high stakes, romantasy you’ve been craving. From the get-go, things start moving and they never stop. It’s so addictive. There is so much to the world and to the magic system. I had a blast learning about everything. There is even some politics in here for those are into that side of fantasy.
The characters were delightful. I fell in love with each one of them. Harkin was a fantastic mmc who was easy to root for, and Seren was such a layered FMC. It was great to see those layers pulled back throughout the book. Our side characters also shown just as bright. I was pleasantly survived by how much I loved them.
This starts out as a true enemies to lovers. We’re talking multiple murder attempts. Seeing ours mcs learn to love and grow along with each other was beautiful. I probably felt every single emotion reading this.
Go pick this up!! You won’t regret it.
Thank you to Halle Morgan and her team for the opportunity to read this e-ARC!! I had so much fun.

Beta read review (more to come later): This is such a refreshing romantasy debut. The magic system is compelling, the soft and subtle yearning tugs on your heart strings, and the ambiance is entrancing. You feel absolutely transported by Hallie Morgan’s prose into this beautiful world. Fans of Rachel Gillig and Rebecca Ross will love this one!

Thank you so much Hallie Morgan for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I cannot believe this is your debut novel, it was incredibly well written.
The writing style was so beautiful. I was captivated from the beginning. I truly think I highlighted half of the book.
The magic (magik) system was so interesting and unique! The world building was done so well. Szrestia is a country with 2 kingdoms at war, one of magik and one of humans.
This book is Dual POV and follows the main characters Seren & Harkin. The banter between these two 🤭 was so fun to read. Seren is such a powerful female main character and I was obsessed with her from the beginning. I connected to her immensely.
I adored the found family near the end of the book & I cannot wait to read what comes next!
🤍 Forced Proximity
🤍 One Bed & One Horse
🤍 Dual POV
🤍 Enemies to Lovers
🤍 Found Family

I was so excited to get an ARC for this incredible debut. Morgan writes like a seasoned author, this is truly a stand out fantasy book with inventive storytelling, fleshed out characters and a fun magic system. I’ll always be a fan of world building and Morgan does a wonderful job of submersing us into the world she’s created without feeling overwhelmed. Her writing is poetic and jarring in the best possible way. Her writing style brings you into the world with her tone and choice of vocabulary. I will read anything she writes after reading this masterpiece! If you love interesting magic systems, elemental magic, immersive storytelling and beautiful writing, this is the book for you!

Let me start of by saying that this book was BEAUTIFUL.
In every manner. Starting from the cover and the art, to descriptions and the mágik system, and the writing!!
I loved this and this book left me feeling contented and satisfied
But it was bittersweet too! Iykyk😭😭😭
In the beginning i was genuinely struggling with the writing and i had to reread the first 70-100 pages again😭but once i got used to the writing..BOY WAS IT AMAZING. I LITERALLY CANT BELIEVE THIS IS A DEBUT NOVEL BECAUSE THE WRITING WAS SO GOOD OML
Also i did learn like quite a few new words from this book, so much so that i had to highlight the words i didn’t know (there were 106 new words for me😭)
The magic system was SO BEAUTIFUL GUYS I WANNA CRY
I PERSONALLY LOVED THE “Tünécris”, they were absolutely adorable!!
Absolutely stunning setting istg
Also i loved how incredibly inclusive the author is!!
Like there’s queer representation and people of colour too!
This was one of my favourite scenes;
“They were all perfectly unique and yet utterly similar. An air of power rippled through and around each of them, black and brown and gold hair rustling on an unseen breeze. Their skin tones varied from deepest brown to lightest beige. The Goddesses' only commonality was their striking eyes.”
Like tell me this isn’t such a beautiful description!
I WOULD ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

This story delivers everything I love in fantasy: warring kingdoms, forbidden magic, morally complex characters, and a slow-building romance that completely pulls you in.
The story follows Seren Corso, a soldier devoted to destroying magic, only to discover that magic runs through her own veins. Watching Seren grapple with everything she’s believed in unraveling around her was one of my favorite parts of the book. Her internal conflict felt real and added so much depth to the story.
Then there’s Harkin — a mercenary forced to train Seren’s magic while secretly working under dangerous orders. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Seren and Harkin. Their relationship develops in such an interesting way, filled with tension, distrust, and moments that slowly build into something deeper.
The magic system was really cool and added a unique layer to the world. I also loved the multiple POVs because they helped expand the story and show how divided the kingdoms of Szrestia truly are.
This book had so many twists, and just when I thought I understood what was happening, something new was revealed. The political tension, secrets, and shifting loyalties kept me hooked the entire time.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and its characters. Seren and Harkin completely carried the story for me, and I’m very excited to see where their journey goes next.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
-=+=-ARC BOOK REVIEW-=+=-
I don't know where to begin. All the Stars Above was an amazing debut novel, and I am so excited to see what becomes of our beloved characters in the second book.
Characters - I fell in love with all of the characters, especially Seren and Harkin. Their character arcs developed beautifully throughout the story. I also cannot wait to read more about Ayla and Safyia.
Plot - The plot is very fast-paced, and I loved how everything started to click together in the second half of the book. Unfortunately, I thought it was a little jumpy from chapter to chapter, but it did not disrupt the overall story.
Setting/World-Building - The settings were described beautifully and made me want to jump into the story. The world-building added even more to the story, with descriptions of each region and the creatures that dwelled there.
Writing - Hallie Morgan’s writing was so descriptive and had me engaged throughout the whole story. I could picture the scenes in front of me, which made me fall in love not only with the characters and their banter, but also with the world they were in.
Once again, what a wonderful debut novel, and I can’t wait for book two!!!

Absolutely blown away by this debut novel!!! Morgan is so incredibly talented as a writer, it was beautiful and sucked you right into the story and the atmosphere. I loved the slow burn between the FMC and MMC and the tension that felt palpable between them. The fantasy world is well thought out and intriguing, the magic system is so fun, and the political intrigue was a nice touch to make it a well rounded story!! Can’t wait for the next one!!

Review of advance copy received from Author
First off thank you Hallie for my first ever physical ARC💙🌙
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review
I LOVEDDDD All the Stars Above! It was a quick read (aka I ate this up) with an interesting magic system and ethereal world🌙⭐️
It follows Seren, a soldier who fights against magic-wielding people, and Harkin, a mercenary tasked with finding her to train her of the very magic she’s sworn to destroy when she finds out it runs through her own veins 😮
I especially enjoyed the multiple POVs and the political intrigue. Hallie’s writing style made several scenes feel really immersive, and there were moments where it felt like I was stepping right into the world alongside the characters. I did wish certain aspects of the worldbuilding had been expanded on a bit more, but overall I still found the setting and story engaging.
The romance was sweet and fun, especially with the forced proximity trope (one of my favorites). Harkin (the MMC) gives major golden retriever energy, which I loved, and Seren is such a good-hearted character despite her difficult past. Watching them challenge what they believed about their world and each other was really enjoyable, and their banter made their relationship growth fun to follow.
Some of the pacing felt a little uneven at times, but overall I was still enjoying the story enough that it didn’t take away from my experience.
Since this is a debut, I’m excited to see where the story goes next and I’m looking forward to the next book!🤍
It comes out March 20th!!!

What a beautiful and magical debut novel!!
Thank you so much, Hallie Morgan, for providing me with an eARC of All the Stars Above in exchange for an honest review and for allowing me to be on the ATSA Street Team! This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it absolutely did not disappoint!! I don't think I will ever stop talking about this book!
The cover, the story, the writing, the characters, everything about this book is stunning!! From the very first page, I was completely captivated. One of the things I loved most was how fresh and unique it felt compared to so many fantasy/romantasy books out right now. It truly felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air, and now I’m already craving more!!
The magik (magic, love the name change!!) system was especially fascinating, so unique, and well-developed. It added a layer of depth that made everything even more immersive.
And the plot twists, WOW WOW WOW. This book delivers and will slap you in the face, but in the best way. Some moments genuinely shocked me to the point where I had to go back and reread to process what happened fully. Hallie, you absolutely nailed it.
The enemies-to-lovers romance was everything I could have hoped for. The banter between Seren and Harkin had me completely obsessed. I was rooting for them the entire time. Harkin has officially earned a spot on my book boyfriend list, and Seren is the definition of a badass female main character, cutthroat in the best way. Their slow-burning romance is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The side characters are just as compelling as the main ones, and by the end, the found family element is incredibly heartfelt. The multiple POVs add so much depth and emotion, making it easy to feel fully immersed in the story, which I really loved.
I don’t usually comment on dedications, but Hallie’s truly stayed with me:
“To every version of myself that tried and failed. I could not have done this without you.”
That line hit deeply and made the story feel even more meaningful.
Thank you again, Hallie, for the opportunity to read All the Stars Above. You are such an inspiring and talented author. I cannot wait to continue this journey and read more about Seren, Harkin, Alya, and Safiya in book two!
Tropes:
-One Horse
-Found Family
-Unique Magik System
-Banter

I want to thank Hallie Morgan for allowing me to read the ARC of All the Stars Above. I loved this book so so much. All the Stars Above by Hallie Morgan completely swept me away… this is the kind of romantasy that lingers in your mind long after you turn the last page.
The story follows Seren Corso, a fiercely determined young woman shaped by tragedy after her brother is murdered by magic folk. She grows up with a deep hatred of anything magical, which makes her journey all the more compelling when she discovers that magic exists within her. Watching Seren grapple with that truth then fighting against it, fearing it, and ultimately beginning to understand it… it is one of the most powerful aspects of the book. Her character growth feels raw, believable, and deeply emotional.
Then there’s Harkin—a morally complex magic wielder who serves as an assassin for a prince. He’s tasked with finding Seren, training her, uncovering the extent of her abilities, and ultimately delivering her to the very power she’s been taught to despise. The tension between duty and emotion is so well done here. Harkin isn’t just a brooding love interest, he’s layered, conflicted, and contains a very interesting past of his own..
The dynamic between Seren and Harkin is everything you want from a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance. Their relationship builds with just the right amount of tension, mistrust, and reluctant understanding. Every interaction feels meaningful, and when those emotional walls begin to crack, it’s incredibly satisfying.
Beyond the romance, this book shines as a story of found family. The relationships Seren forms along the way add warmth and depth to the narrative, balancing the darker elements of the plot with moments of connection and belonging.
Overall, All the Stars Above is an amazing blend of magic, emotion, and character-driven storytelling. I absolutely loved it and gave it 4.5/5 stars. I’ll definitely be purchasing a copy and am already impatiently waiting for her next book!

Review of advance copy received from Author
3.5⭐️ I thought this was an enjoyable read with a really interesting premise! The story follows Seren, a soldier who has spent her life hunting down people with mágik, only to discover that mágik runs through her own blood. At the same time, Harkin, a mercenary working for a prince, is tasked with gaining Seren’s trust while secretly helping train her powers. As they spend more time together, they both start questioning what they’ve always believed about their kingdoms and the war between them.
I liked the idea of two characters coming from opposite sides and slowly realizing that things aren’t as simple as they thought. The world and the conflict between the kingdoms were interesting, and I enjoyed the theme of questioning what you’ve always been taught.
The pacing felt a little uneven for me at times. Some parts moved slower, while other parts moved pretty quickly with a lot happening in a short amount of time—like the shift from enemies to lovers, the changing dynamic with Seren’s cousin, traveling to a new kingdom, and the assassination of a character that didn’t seem to have many lasting consequences. But it did keep the story moving and made the book feel like a quick read.
Overall, I still thought this was a solid fantasy story with a lot of potential. The premise is strong and I’m curious to see where the story and characters go next. I think readers who enjoy fantasy with magic, political tension, and character-driven journeys will find a lot to like here!
Thank you to Hallie Morgan for providing this ARC!
I liked the idea of two characters coming from opposite sides and slowly realizing that things aren’t as simple as they thought. The world and the conflict between the kingdoms were interesting, and I enjoyed the theme of questioning what you’ve always been taught.
The pacing felt a little uneven for me at times. Some parts moved slower, while other parts moved pretty quickly with a lot happening in a short amount of time—like the shift from enemies to lovers, the changing dynamic with Seren’s cousin, traveling to a new kingdom, and the assassination of a character that didn’t seem to have many lasting consequences. But it did keep the story moving and made the book feel like a quick read.

Review of advance copy
Thank you Hallie Morgan for the opportunity to read and review All the Stars Above!
I need to sound the lady knight alarm because WOW. Seren Corso, the woman you are.
This stunning debut follows Seren and Harkin, halves of warring kingdoms, as they navigate trust, honor, and the fragile hope of something more. I was hooked from the start. The writing is immersive and confident, with world building that is rich without ever becoming overwhelming. I felt the magic system stood out, thoughtfully developed and far from cookie cutter. The writing is vivid and purposeful, allowing us to immerse ourself and walk beside these characters in their journey.
At its heart, this is a true enemies-to-lovers story. The animosity between Seren and Harkin is earned and deeply rooted, which makes their emotional growth all the more satisfying. Watching them confront hard truths, challenge their loyalties, and slowly unravel their hatred alongside one another felt authentic and refreshing. And if you throw down for found family? This book delivers. The connections are strong and the banter is genuinely heartwarming.
Honestly, the story hits home. I loved the overarching story of healing from your past and facing your regrets to be a better you.
With all the tension that drives the ending of this book, it wraps up beautifully. No painful cliffhanger, but only anticipation for book 2!

This was one of my most highly anticipated reads for this year, and it absolutely delivered! I've been following the author's socials as she posted about her writing journey, and it feels so full circle to read this story.
I especially loved the dynamic between the FMC and MMC. They're both such strong and guarded characters, so I loved watching them both chip away at each others' walls and work their way into each other's hearts. Also, the descriptions of EVERYTHING are fantastic - the world building and magic system are a great balance of unique/complicated and also easy to understand and well-described. It was so satisfying to see how the mysteries introduced to us at the start fit in to the grand scheme of things near the end. And I also loved the found family friend group that develops in this! This is a personal preference, but I wish the story was just dual POV instead of multi-POV, especially since the POVs that aren't our FMC/MMC are in 3rd person but the FMC/MMC POVs are in 1st. But still - I loved this story and these characters so much!
Thank you so much to the author Hallie Morgan for providing me an eARC to read and review - and also for letting me be on her street team + including me in the acknowledgements of the book!! I screamed when I saw that and I'm never going to be over it!
Read this for the:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫(4.5)
Let me start by saying this was such a beautifully written story. From the very first page, I was completely pulled in.
I am so incredibly thankful to have been part of the street team and to have received an e-ARC of this one. Getting to experience this story early was such a gift.
First of all — that cover?! Absolutely stunning. It immediately draws you in and perfectly captures the magic inside these pages. 😍
Our story follows Seren (FMC) and Harkin (MMC), and I adore them both so much. The playful banter between them was everything. There’s this invisible thread tying them together — one they try so hard to ignore — but it keeps pulling them closer and closer. Watching that tension unfold was so satisfying.
I also really loved the multiple POVs. For me, that always deepens the emotional connection, and it absolutely did here. Being inside different characters’ heads made the stakes feel higher and the relationships even richer.
Tropes you’ll love:
• One horse 🐴
• Found family
• Magic system✨
• Forced proximity
• “Touch her and 💀” energy
This story is full of heart, magic, tension, and connection. Thank you so much for choosing me as an ARC reader. You are an incredible author — and an even better friend. 💛

*3.5 Stars*
All The Stars Above by debut indie author is the first book in a new fantasy romance series that features warring kingdoms, deep seated prejudices, forbidden magic, morally grey MCs and a slow burn romance rooted in the desire for something raw & real.
We meet Soren as a battle hardened soldier. She wears an impenetrable forced mask of apathy and keeps everyone at arms length. She is driven by vengeance and a deep hatred for the Razuri — magic users and enemies of her kingdom.
We meet Harkin — a powerful and deadly Razuri — as a morally grey mercenary whose morality no longer belongs to him. There’s no atrocity he won’t commit to protect his family. He’s lost so many pieces of himself that all he knows is how to wear the tailor made masks he dons for luring his marks.
There’s is a story of confrontation and reconciliation. Confronting fears, prejudices, self-limiting beliefs, magical awakenings and political machinations while reconciling who they are, who they’ve been and who they’re meant to be.
All The Stars Above releases March 20th. Fantasy romance fans of political intrigue, secret identities, vengeful FMCs, morally grey MMCs, magical awakening, multiple POV and slow burn romance should check this out!

Thank you to Hallie for gifting me an arc of her book 😊
This was such a fun story! there was a lot going on in the plot, by the time I was 3/4 way through I wondered how we got here?! This is such a jam packed, fast moving story that never has a dull moment!
Hallie has such beautiful writing, it reminded me a lot of Rebecca Ross and the way she writes prose and describes fantasy worlds.
I feel like this is a good book for someone who is looking to get into fantasy/romantasy, Hallie’s writing is beautiful and easy to understand. she even includes a pronunciation guide at the end (I love when books have this) and the chapters are fairly short making the story easy to digest.
The last 50% of this book is pretty wild. I feel like there was a huge plot twist and then around the 62% mark there was a big battle that felt like the final battle but we were only 62% of the way through?!? LIKE WHAT??? I was fearing for my life for the last 40-ish percent because I was thinking what could possibly happen next??

First and foremost, thank you for Hallie Morgan for sending me this gifted copy.
This book does not read like a debut novel. Morgan’s prose—her lyrical way of writing—comes off as very mature and just beautiful.
The universe that was created for the story was unique, but familiar. I think so many young writers, or just kids in general, write extremely bad short stories about the sun vs the moon kingdoms, but Morgan did this in an expert way that spins the whole idea on its head. I found the whole world so refreshing.
The characters were well crafted, and felt like real people with souls and wants and dreams. Which in turn, made the relationship that formed between our two main characters, Seren and Harkin, so sweet. Speaking of romance: if you’re a fan of enemies to lovers, banter, and only one… horse, then snatch this up immediately.
I’ll finish this by saying, Hallie, I’m so proud of you, and you should be so proud of yourself. This was amazing.
Also, this cover art is so beautiful. Like best in the business.

4⭐️ Is out now and available on KU
First I want to thank Hallie Morgan for the arc! I feel so honored to be apart of this journey. Though I received this as an arc it does not affect my honest thought.
That being said: Honestly I loved it!
This is a fast paced fantasy that hits you with the action from the jump! Hallie does a great job of giving you a true insight on the psyche of not only the main characters but also the side characters as well. I truly felt I had a grasp on who all he characters were at their core.
Ten màgik system: I loved the name change! Really helps the book stand out from other fantasies. Also the way the màgik works in this world is super unique!
The romance: It’s true enemies to lovers and I loved it! The banter, tension, and ohh what a slow burn!!!
Also this book will keep you on your toes! I guarantee by the end you won’t see what’s coming.
Spice: 2.5🌶️ Short open door scene.
Tropes: Enemies To Lovers, One Bed, One Horse, Forbidden Love, Found Family.

DEBUT say who? Wow Hallie you are naturally such a great writer. I am SO impressed.
The MMC is not usually my fav character… but Harkin stole the show! His character development was so beautiful. And we love a man that isn’t afraid to cry 👏
Ayla was my second fav character 🥹 and I just gotta say, justice for Ayla!
The pacing of this book was uneven with some parts dragging and some parts happening in a blink. The halfway mark of this book is where I was really hooked in!
I wish the POVs stayed consistent throughout the book. It was jarring as a reader to switch from first and third person depending on who the POV was from.
I also wish Seren’s journey from shutting everyone out for years, to opening up felt more gradual and natural. We also didn’t get much of her history with friendships or relationships. She went from avoiding everyone, to being really good at communicating and letting others in. It felt a bit unrealistic.
The magik was fun and beautiful! I also appreciated the lore!

first off, thank you so much to Hallie Morgan for the opportunity to read her debut novel before it’s release date!
reading All the Stars Above, you would never guess it’s a debut novel. the writing is beautiful, ethereal, and vividly descriptive in a way that immediately pulls you in. every scene is crafted so clearly that the world unfolds like a movie in your mind.
the plot is dynamic, intriguing, and consistently engaging, but what truly stands out is the immersive world building & magic system. from the unique creatures to the intricacies of the setting, every detail feels thoughtfully developed. the world is rich and expansive without ever feeling overwhelming, creating the perfect balance between depth and clarity.
this is an amazing debut, and i’m already looking forward to the next book in the series! i can’t wait to see where our characters end up as their storyline continues unfolding!

first of all I wanted to scream a thankyou to Hallie for sending me a free arc of her book!!! I am forever grateful
this was such a beautiful story. I was immediately drawn in very quickly. The way this is her debut blows my mind. The writing is done so beautifully & the storyline flows SO so well & everything is so intricately woven together to give such a magical result. The characters appealed to me immediately. I really related to Seren in the ways she guarded her heart so heavily. Getting to watch her slowly open up & her character development really resonates! Then we have harkin 🫦 hello? This man is the definition of DOWN. BAD. He was always going out of his way to ensure her wellbeing even when they still HATED eachother!!!!! They both made eachother better in so many unique ways & Hallie portrayed that beautifully.
The magik system was well thought out & executed really well!! I loved the concept & the imagery along with it is just stunning!!!! Please please read this💙

Thank you to Hallie Morgan for an ARC of All the Stars Above!
This was so beautifully written and had such an interesting magic system. The setting was so atmospheric with such intriguing characters. I think this was an amazing debut, I can't even imagine the work that went into writing this book.
This was an impactful love story with a broader story about the fight for power. The second half of this book was so fast paced with so many plot twists, it was almost too tough to keep up. I will say, personally, things escalated a little too quickly for me in the second half with the plot and the romance. I wanted to learn a little more about all of the different creatures in this book, such the vampires, dragons, etc., and a little more backstory on their origins and where they fit into the world. But other than that, the book finished off strong and I'm so honored to have gotten a chance to read this early and share my thoughts.
3.5 ⭐️ rounded up!

I want to start off by saying Thank you Hallie for the advanced reader copy AND for being such an amazing person and friend!
This was an amazing debut novel! The world building and magic system was truly unique and just so fun to learn and explore. You are learning things with the FMC and the characters. The writing was just phenomenal! The way I truly cared for these characters and was so invested in what was going to happen to them is indescribable. They all have hurtles and obstacles that they need to overcome, man was it quite the ride but also so rewarding to see them overcome them. I was definitely bamboozled quite a few times throughout the book and something I thought was THE twist wasn't even close. I had such a fun time reading and I was IN IT. I was constantly thinking about it and ITCHING to pick it back up. It's perfectly paced and just so well written. If you haven't already RUN to get you a copy and read it. You won't regret it!

“Moonkissed. Chosen by the goddesses. Doomed to die by Prince Claudian’s hand — by my hand for leading her to this fate.”
This line alone captures the tension, the destiny, and the heartbreak woven through this story… and it only scratches the surface.
What I loved most was that we didn’t just follow Seren’s journey. There’s another storyline layered in so beautifully alongside hers — one that slowly unfolds and reveals how deeply everything is connected. Seren's story is one of betrayal, love, and family [dysfunction + love].
Seren's Magik doesn’t just shape her path… it ties her to those she'd never meet but fates where they are intertwined. Each Character helped shape the other, allowing it to be a beautiful story of self-discovery.
The world is rich with goddesses, layered magik, betrayal, longing, and plot twists.
And then there’s this line—
“You once asked me who I loved unfathomably… The answer is you, Harkin Aranti. I love you unfathomably.”
UGHHHH 😭✨
It gave me that same ache and depth of love you feel in Pride & Prejudice. That love goes beyond prejudice.

If you’re looking for your new favorite romantasy read, All The Stars Above is it!!
A book and storyline as beautiful as its cover- I’m obsessed with the author’s writing style. This book was filled with some of my favorite tropes & I even discovered new tropes to obsess over that I didn’t even know I needed!!
Some of the tropes include: one bed, forced proximity, one horse, touch her & die.
Stunning debut novel & I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to be a beta reader! Definitely pick this one up in March when it releases!
