Stellarbound

by Logan Piercey

Aurelia, now as queen, is forced to face the unforeseen consequences left behind by the dragon gates. As curses begin to unraveel, creatures escape the Forbidden Forest, Scalebornes turn to humans, and the ancient Lunarkeepers, who would see themselves freed at any cost, begin to infiltrate the human lands.

With the Lunarkeeper's ancient mind-bending abilities doing everything to stop Aurelia from resinstating the curses, she risks everything she loves, including her Kingdom and Scalekind, to obtain the cursed relic and to keep the thirteenth dragon breed safe before the poison of illusion blinds them all.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review and this is my review of Stellarbound.

So… This author frustrates me.
She has so much potential as a writer, it shows but it is like she doesn’t exploit it enough. Throughout the book, I felt like she was so impatient at the idea of delivering Stellarbound for the readers she rushed through the plots. I also know she had a really tough time finishing the book so it might be why

The plot:
Stellarbound takes place a year after the events of Scalebound. Aurelia is now a Queen and tries to consolidate the peace between all the Kingdoms after defeating the Deathlies and erasing the dragon's curses.
However, when a dragon went rogue, chaos was unleashed forcing Aurelia to find a way to reinstate the curses to save the Kingdoms and her life. In doing so, she must come to term with what she has previously done and find where the true enemy lies…

The length:
43 chapters for 342 pages

The pacing:
So so much better than Scalebound ! Well-balanced, a rythm that will keep hook

Overall:
Regarding the editing, there is a lot of editing issues : for example, I found a dialogue between several characters that look like this -
“ Line of dialogue 1” he said
“ Line of dialogue 2 ” another said
“ Line of dialogue 3” she said
And it goes for the entire dialogue… Also, there is always shimmering, shivering, bubbling and too much tendrils… For the rest, it was fine and an enjoyeable read

Considering the events of the book, like I said, not developed enough.
She started something promising with Damian refusing to become King but…. Yeah. Not enough exploration. An example ? He was a year sober and at some point, drunk again without consequence.
At some point, four deadly trials fell upon our characters. There are not deadly at all, no major or critical injury and the challenge doesn’t make sense…

- 1st Trial is about “wisdom, protection, creativity and duty” : what part of that related to getting a key avoiding paralysing fish with leaves ? The solution is figure out too quickly, there is no stake.
- 2st Trial is about “ honor, equality, unity” and is basically rock jumping. The birds were underwhelming and it’s too bad because the characters were at a critical disadvantage in the face of such strong and fast enemy.
- 3rd Trial is about “sacrifice and justice” - Basically, just there to break the engagement between Aurelia and Tobias : of course it is obvious it was going to happen and it was the perfect place for it but… no enough development.
- 4th Trial ? “Loyalty, Valor, Trust, Innovation” - The one I didn’t see coming. I knew at some point it would happen but not this way.
Each trial ? 5-6 pages only…

I could argue on other plots point but it would be to say it was not developed enough again.
While I can understand the one year jump from Stellarbound, it would have been nice to know more about what happened during this time
Logan is a good and promising author… She should take more time to write her books, she has a catching personality and a devoted fanbase that will be there no matter the time she takes to write.
I put 3 stars but it is really a 2.5 stars. However, this is an enjoyeable read regardless and for those who loves fantasy novels, you can be satisfied with it !

Lastly, this book is the prove that fantasy doesn't need smut to work !

ARC READ
In Book 2 of this Duology, Aurelia as a Scaleborn is trying to unite the kingdoms as Queen between the Scaleborn and the humans. Unrest becomes evident in the kingdom as evil and chaos seems to be oozing all around the peace and unity she is trying to accomplish.
With threats to unseat her, Aurelia is confronted with seeking alliances with other kingdoms.
The Cursed War seems to be rising back with old threats being brought back. Aurelia and Damian face threats that they didn't realize they would face. Who are they supposed to trust? Certainly each other...right?
There was so much adventure and tension in this book! Trials, missions, and trying to un cover secrets.
The root of self worth was evident in book one and continues in this book as a wonderful theme of overcoming self doubt and being confident enough to fight for oneself and those they love.
This is a closed door romantasy and swoony to boot.

This was the perfect book 2 to wrap up the duology!! It's kind of wild to me that in book one I really didn't like Tobias, and LOVED Damian, and now I'm team Tobias! I'm shocked, but SWOON! I loved that she kept me guessing and constantly changing my opinion on the two MMC's. I also really enjoyed the edition of the lunarkeepers and how they are kind of alien like in my mind lol. The writing was beautiful, and I loved the storyline! I will be highly recommending this book/duology to all my friends! If you're a closed door lover, this is especially for you! If you are not, trust me you wont miss the spice because she gives you all the yearning, witty banter, and relationship devo!

Plus, have you guys SEEN those sprayed edges?! Prettiest book! I also must get the pastel edition in paperback to have the gold sprayed edges too!
