Illusion of Stars by Sarah Marie Page
5/5 Stars
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with a copy of this book!
I really enjoyed the slow-burn romance between Isobel and Erik—it was well-paced, full of tension, and made their dynamic so fun to follow. The characters were incredibly intriguing, and since I’ve always been a fan of first-person narratives, this book was right up my alley!
One thing I really appreciated was the inclusion of trigger warnings and a list of sexual scenes at the back of the book. It’s always great when authors consider their readers in this way. Speaking of the author—Sarah Marie Page seems like such a sweetheart! Her acknowledgments were absolutely adorable.
Beyond the romance and world-building, Isobel’s internal struggle was compelling. She has to balance her personal battles while trying to decide what’s morally right and what’s best for her kingdom, which added so much depth to her character.
Overall, this was an amazing read! I can’t wait to purchase a physical copy and get my hands on the second book when it releases (since it will be a duology!).
