Wicked Academia: Lost Stars: 1

Product Information

Giving each of the Greywick’s a love interest made me so happy, and the fact their individual love stories each had a different trope made it even better. Finding out that she and Darius had been lovers was not my favorite twist and that's really all I have to say about her as she didn't provide much else to the narrative. In a different life, she would have loved the chance to get glossed up with Vivian and tsk over Timothée’s hair. Khalid has much more character potential for me, though at the beginning it, once again, felt like a very ham-fisted attempt at him being The Snarky Bad Boy with his convenient, plot-relevant intuition.

No hands dragged through hair or swollen lips from rough kisses, the way she’d read about in the scandalous books her clients devoured as they were leeched. Three intertwined gemstones sculpted in the shape of stars crested the very top: yellow, blue, and purple.A magic school on a floating island, not one but three romances, characters you can’t help but love, and beautiful sibling relationships? And that leads me to my major gripe - Vivian and Darius 🤦🏽‍♀️ Guys, this ship sailed so fast I didn't get the chance to jump on and ended up drowning instead. I'm going to give the next book a go, because I'm intrigued about certain aspects and would like to know what happens to each of the Greywick children. There's one specific, poignant scene between Vivian and Darius, and it's perhaps the most important scene regarding the development of their relationship.

This is an adult fantasy book and let’s start here: something I have to point out is the fact that this book reads on the younger side even thought it has +18 content. Ahead, people were pushing to the courtyard before the castle; they’d been setting up a stage there all yesterday. A strange breeze kept flying through the hallways, tugging at her loose curls, and sending shivers down her spine. Timothée stood and looked around at the smashed jars, and spilled sugar, and red jam puddling on the ground like blood. Lost Stars follows the Greywick siblings in their adventures from supposedly ordinary people, besides the fact that they glow on moonless nights, to saving a prince and finding out the three of them are the Lost Stars: descendants of the gods.I think that having the pictures at each chapter confused me a lot too; I didn’t picture the triplets the way they’re drawn and I think a small motif would have been nicer designed to represent each triplet (similar to the swashes used to separate sections of text). The characters in the book are quite likeable, and if there's anything that I adore in stories like this, it's familial bonds. The men later go to the Trojan War war together, cementing their story as an epic of love and tragedy. Our initial introductions to both characters and love interests felt very rushed and painfully predictable. Naturally, I was very delighted to learn there’s a whole subgenre that speaks to this fascination: dark academia.
