This is the third part of the trilogy “The Star-Crossed Saga,” and it is such an astonishing read! I was hooked from the very first page and finished the book in one sitting. Solstice can definitely be called a great example of ya-fantasy, full of adventures, unexpected occurrences and plot twists that you can never predict.
This time, William has to set out on a space journey in search of the last of the Star-children, while Sydney is left in danger, trying to hide her identity and master the power she had tucked away inside. Will they succeed and save the galaxy from evil with the help of their allies?
The author has done an amazing job developing characters: the vivid and complex main characters are greatly complimented by subordinate ones, adding depth and intrigue to the plot. I loved all of them: William, Sydney, Jasmine, Noella, and many others. The fast-paced plot, heroes, conveying feelings and thoughts to the reader in the best way ever, descriptive language of the narration and a completely amazing epilogue, all this results in amazing, gripping, totally fantastic book!
I really loved William’s explanation of love tangibility, I was stunned by the beauty of Crimson Fields of Fabricius and was completely impressed by the touching, warm display of William’s and Sydney’s feelings.
If you want to feel the power of stars, to discover what the Time Weaver is, open the first page of the most grasping adventure you’ve ever had, full of unknown and mysterious. This book is definitely a must-read!

Solstice by Braxton A Cosby is the third book in the Star Crossed series

This book had me gripped right from the start and there are many twists and turns. I did not want to put it down and even took it with me to read whilst doing housework just so I could finish it.

This book can be enjoyed time and time again. It is amazingly intense and the author prepares you for the journey for you to take alongside the characters really well. The characters and story development were perfectly done. This book was extremley well written. I will definitely want to one click future releases from this author. This book was full of many twists and turns in the book that will keep you guessing what is going to happen till the very end.

I could not wait to get to the end so I devoured it in one sitting. Incredible work!!

I will definitely be recommending this author to everyone I know.

The continuation of Protostar’s star-crossed lovers bring the story to both conclusion and a new mystery. As trouble rises, our heroes make their final decisions that’ll determine the fate of the galaxy as the war for Fabricus intensifies. Overall, the story is full of star-crossing and space-folding adventure in a Kings struggle to regain control, William’s search, and Sydney’s development. I felt that Solstice moved a lot faster than Protostar and Supernova. I’ve been waiting to find out if a certain someone was going to die, but I wasn’t prepared to find that I was right and wrong in a way without spoiling. I loved William’s journey to the Eclipse. It brought out some really cool different characters I wasn’t expecting to come across. I would love to find out where StarKozy, Demi, and Teel came from and the future of William’s friend he left behind on the Eclipse. I think my favorite part of the book had to be the last chapter Sydney talked to Henry. It was so sweet and heart-warming yet also heart breaking at the same time. It’s a hard debate, but he could easily have been my third favorite character versus Bill. Sydney would be the second and William the first. William’s strong perseverance, determination, and inner strength easily made him my favorite character in the story. Nothing came easy when he left Fabricus but he always kept going. I really loved reading Solstice and just as it seemed all the mysteries were answered, the last page threw another mystery that I don’t think any reader, let alone William and Sydney, were expecting.
