Summary
The first book in a breathtaking new fantasy series， A Legacy of Storms and Starlight is a captivating and addictive read， perfect for fans of Sarah J。 Maas and Danielle L。 Jensen。
Zylah Renfall is certain of two things: she will forever be on the run for the murder of a prince， and she somehow used magic to escape her own hanging。
Aided by a mysterious and infuriating Fae， Zylah dreams of a fresh start and a chance to explore her newly discovered Fae heritage。 But her dreams are short-lived as the king’s men still hunt for her head。 When she learns of a Fae uprising uniting to overthrow the same king who wants her dead， Zylah seizes her opportunity。
Take down the king， secure her freedom。
With just three months to prepare， Zylah’s future hangs in the balance。 Despite the allure of her Fae trainer and the ruthless attempts on their lives， failure is not an option。 For as long as the king lives， the Fae remain in the shadows and Zylah will never be free。

If you are looking for your next Fae book to read， look no further。 This book is so well written and it’s such a great read。 Especially the ending！ There’s some great characters， some spice and a bit of a love triangle thing going on。 Zylah is a very brave FMC and I liked her。 The owl， Kopi， is an awesome companion！ I definitely didn’t expect the ending to turn out how it did。 I rate it 4。5 stars overall because the pacing was a bit slow for my taste in a couple spots， but overall this book is f If you are looking for your next Fae book to read， look no further。 This book is so well written and it’s such a great read。 Especially the ending！ There’s some great characters， some spice and a bit of a love triangle thing going on。 Zylah is a very brave FMC and I liked her。 The owl， Kopi， is an awesome companion！ I definitely didn’t expect the ending to turn out how it did。 I rate it 4。5 stars overall because the pacing was a bit slow for my taste in a couple spots， but overall this book is fantastic！ I received an ARC from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

“She’d always thought her purpose was to live。 To exist。 To experience everything she could， for no one but herself。”This books follows Zylah as she gets the chance to live her life for the first time - but she has to do it all whilst hiding as the death penalty is still on her head。 She makes friends， she falls in love and she fights for a cause she believes in， but none of the people around her know her real name。 I liked Zylah’s fiercely independent character。 She was so used to surviving for “She’d always thought her purpose was to live。 To exist。 To experience everything she could， for no one but herself。”This books follows Zylah as she gets the chance to live her life for the first time - but she has to do it all whilst hiding as the death penalty is still on her head。 She makes friends， she falls in love and she fights for a cause she believes in， but none of the people around her know her real name。 I liked Zylah’s fiercely independent character。 She was so used to surviving for herself that she fought for so long to not make friends。 I enjoyed her knowledge of plants and how that was often more useful for her survival than the ability to wield a blade。 Throughout the book， we were with Zylah， constantly chasing the question of her heritage and her abilities。 I’m looking forward to finding out more about her/them in the sequel。 The other characters were good too， often used as a way to draw Zylah out of her shell。 They gave her the time to let them in， never pushing。 Even if they didn’t know the reasons， they were always careful of her trauma。 However， I don’t know if the characters weren’t fully fleshed out or whether I just wasn’t completely in the mood for this as I didn’t fall in love with the characters and I wasn’t sold on the romance - I could see how you could be， but they didn’t do it for me this time。 We got hints of the wider world and the history of it， but I can feel there’s a lot more to come。 We’ll get more of it sequels as Zylah travels， but I think this was more about her finding her feet in her new body。 This book also seemed to deal more with the Fae in the present， not how they were or what they could become again。 I liked how we got hints that the Fae weren’t the only mythical creatures - that’s definitely something I’m looking forward to reading more about。 There was constant action and a threat of danger around every turn。 Zylah could never settle and be content to stay still。 I’m pretty sure it was fast paced， I just may have been a bit slumpy so didn’t get through it as quickly！ 。。。more

Ok ok ok - so！ I really enjoyed this book BUT it loses a star because it took about 20% to get going。 Once it did， it was great！ Well worth continuing。Zylah， Holt， Raif， Rose and Saphi were all fab Characters， with Holt being my fave！！

This book was surprising because it enters the genre of fae fantasy romance and you think “okay I can see how this all plays out” and then the author completely upends those expectations。For starters the love interest doesn’t end up being who you might assume。 Then the ending was a complete wtf I did not see that one coming at all？I found this book a little slow。 I kept putting it down but that last 25% I was like okay we’re going places now。 Shit is getting real。If I’m being honest， if it weren This book was surprising because it enters the genre of fae fantasy romance and you think “okay I can see how this all plays out” and then the author completely upends those expectations。For starters the love interest doesn’t end up being who you might assume。 Then the ending was a complete wtf I did not see that one coming at all？I found this book a little slow。 I kept putting it down but that last 25% I was like okay we’re going places now。 Shit is getting real。If I’m being honest， if it weren’t for that ending I would’ve rated this 3 stars but that ending WAS well done so I’m bumping it to 4 stars。But my biggest issue is I wish it had a tighter editing for detail consistency。 At the beginning the FMC talks about how she was well trained by her brother who is the king’s blade。 But then later on she all of a sudden has no training skills and desperately seeks it out。 And I’m completely confused by that？ There’s just areas where details didn’t align that bothered me。 Another example of this is why on earth would she assume there would be a fae uprising on her behalf when no one even knows who she is？ It makes no sense。In terms of spice I would say low level 2 peppers。 But it was well done and not overly cringey like sex scenes can sometimes be。The characters were fine。 I wasnt 100% invested in them until very late in the book。 At times they just felt on the flat side and didn’t have a ton of depth as I wanted。Overall I quite enjoyed this and definitely looking forward to the next one。 。。。more

"Memories are fickle things。 But， sometimes they're all there is。"The world building is magical and fascinating， it's written pretty well since I can understand and follow the plot easily。 What I love most from this book is the animal companion， Kopi the owl。 He's so adorable！ There are also a few time jumps and the pacing was slightly too fast。 I would've love to know more about the characters， the uprising community and how the magic works。 I hope I'll got to see it more in the next book。T "Memories are fickle things。 But， sometimes they're all there is。"The world building is magical and fascinating， it's written pretty well since I can understand and follow the plot easily。 What I love most from this book is the animal companion， Kopi the owl。 He's so adorable！ There are also a few time jumps and the pacing was slightly too fast。 I would've love to know more about the characters， the uprising community and how the magic works。 I hope I'll got to see it more in the next book。The romance part confused me a little bit。。。 why ？ Because the guy that I thought was going to be the love interest （Holt） somehow didn't turn up to be the love interest！ This book really surprised me in an unexpected way。 I didn't really like Zylah's instant romance relationship with Raif and it also feels unfair to him because Zylah also have some sort of connection and attraction to Holt as well。 I can't even really call this a love triangle to be honest。 Although， after finishing this book I really wanted Zylah to end up with Holt！ After that unexpected twisted ending， I just need book 2 right now！ Because I have LOTS of questions that needed answers！！This book has a lot of potentials， we've only known a small part from this big unknown universe。 There are still many secrets from these characters we have yet to see。 I'm hoping we'll be able to find out more about it in the next book！Overall， it's a really interesting and enjoyable read for me。 I'll be waiting patiently for the next book to come out so I can continue reading about Zylah's adventure and love story！ If you love to read fantasy books with found family trope and magical world building， I suggest you'll take a look of this one！***Book kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review。 *** 。。。more

4 stars for the beginning and 3 stars for the restFirst I want to thank Victoria J Price for sending me a copy of her book and some fantastic artprint with it！ I am a sucker for artprints and gorgeous fae！"I didn't mean to kill him。"That was the opening sentence of the book and I was sucked in immediately thinking: "Wow。 That's so promising！"。And the beginning was so good！Zylah was in prison because she had killed Jesper， the crown prince， when he had tried to rape her。We learn that her dream of 4 stars for the beginning and 3 stars for the restFirst I want to thank Victoria J Price for sending me a copy of her book and some fantastic artprint with it！ I am a sucker for artprints and gorgeous fae！"I didn't mean to kill him。"That was the opening sentence of the book and I was sucked in immediately thinking: "Wow。 That's so promising！"。And the beginning was so good！Zylah was in prison because she had killed Jesper， the crown prince， when he had tried to rape her。We learn that her dream of working in the apothecary with her father will be forever lost。 That her brother and father who already had lost her mother will forever grieve her。We were in her head， her heart and with just a few sentences we had the picture of her past life！Also as she is the main character of the story， we are wondering how she'll escape。And escape she will！In a very surprising way！ That will leave her on the run， in the woods， and meeting with a sexy and mysterious stranger: Holt！See when I say the start was very good？？But then， when they both arrive in Venarian and Zylah gets a job， meets Raife things will。。。peter out。There was a lot of potential but it didn't deliver in that part of the story before luckily kicking back at the end。What bothered me was that there were things happening， Zylah training， a rebellion to lead， secrets to uncover and at the same time I felt that we went nowhere。Or more accurately that we stayed on the surface。I didn't buy Zylah and Raife's relationship。 I didn't feel the intensity even if they had very heated moments！ If you love heat you'll be very happy！It's like they missed something from the beginning。 Raife remained a mystery and their interactions were quite superficial even with their proximity。 Maye because Zylah was not totally honest and kept Raife at arm's length emotionally speaking for so long？I felt a more genuine connection between Zylah and Holt。 Their relationship rang truer than Raife's did。 It felt right， not fabricated， not forced。 Well yes you can guess， I preferred the mysterious alpha male to the beautiful and cocky one What interested me and frustrated me at the same time was Zylah's mysterious origin。 We still don't know who and what she is at the end of the book。 And usually， the secrecy has me drooling and reading very fast just to KNOW。 But I became frustrated when no new ability showed up and when we had no more clue as to whom her parents were。On a bright side， that book has many alluring ingredients！Fae， secrets， a rebellion， a maybe love triangle that is not a love triangle and my favorite: Kopi a cute little owl！So far， my review is in the minority and lots of people love that story。 So don't let my review deter you and make up your own mind！ 。。。more

Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi dire sur ce livre。 Je ne l’ai pas aimé mais je ne l’ai pas détesté non plus。 Soit il ne se passe rien soit il se passe trop de choses trop rapidement。 Par contre la romance était complètement nulle， désolée mais Holt est tellement mieux。 Je pense que je lirai la suite parce que la fin m’a titillée。

DNF at 25%。There's nothing remarkably bad about this book but I wasn't really enjoying it。 I think the problem is that the inciting incident happened so early in the book that I didn't really care if the main character lived or died。 I never connected with her and never felt the 'magic' of the story。 It all seemed a little lacklustre to me。May retry at a later date。 DNF at 25%。There's nothing remarkably bad about this book but I wasn't really enjoying it。 I think the problem is that the inciting incident happened so early in the book that I didn't really care if the main character lived or died。 I never connected with her and never felt the 'magic' of the story。 It all seemed a little lacklustre to me。May retry at a later date。 。。。more

A Legacy of Storms and Starlight follows Zylah as she joins forces with a group of Fae and a rebellion on a mission to kill the king。This is a hard book for me to review because I didn't hate it， but I didn't love it either。 The story is well-written， make no mistake about that。 The steamy scenes are the best parts of the book， but this is a SLOW burn which grated on me more than once。 I also had a really hard time connecting with Zylah， and I think it's because for most of the story we know so A Legacy of Storms and Starlight follows Zylah as she joins forces with a group of Fae and a rebellion on a mission to kill the king。This is a hard book for me to review because I didn't hate it， but I didn't love it either。 The story is well-written， make no mistake about that。 The steamy scenes are the best parts of the book， but this is a SLOW burn which grated on me more than once。 I also had a really hard time connecting with Zylah， and I think it's because for most of the story we know so little about her。 I think we could have benefited from knowing the stuff about her dad and brother earlier on。 The other characters were all right。 I appreciated broody Holt and flirtatious Raif。 Far and away my favorite character was Kopi， the adorable owl。Thank you to Victoria J。 Price for the ARC。 。。。more

I loved every minute of this！ Zylah is a girl with a dark past， haunted with secrets we only scratch the surface of。 When she crosses paths with Hoyt， they agree to work together for her safety and sanity。 But as the world seems to unravel around them， with romantic interests making their way into her life， Zylah is quickly thrust away from the solitude she once sought。 If I say more， I'm going to spoil it all！ I loved it。 For fans of ACOTAR for sure。 I loved every minute of this！ Zylah is a girl with a dark past， haunted with secrets we only scratch the surface of。 When she crosses paths with Hoyt， they agree to work together for her safety and sanity。 But as the world seems to unravel around them， with romantic interests making their way into her life， Zylah is quickly thrust away from the solitude she once sought。 If I say more， I'm going to spoil it all！ I loved it。 For fans of ACOTAR for sure。 。。。more

Thank you to the author for the early review copy！After some thought I'm going with 3。5/5 stars。This book was a pretty good start to a new series， the main character， Zylah， has a lot of growth to do and a lot to learn as she sets out on her journey。 This first book definitely gave her a good start， but I wish there was a bit more about magic in this book。 One character touches people and turns to ash， a few others can evanesce or travel from one place to another with a thought， and there is som Thank you to the author for the early review copy！After some thought I'm going with 3。5/5 stars。This book was a pretty good start to a new series， the main character， Zylah， has a lot of growth to do and a lot to learn as she sets out on her journey。 This first book definitely gave her a good start， but I wish there was a bit more about magic in this book。 One character touches people and turns to ash， a few others can evanesce or travel from one place to another with a thought， and there is some healing。 However， that's the majority of what I got on magic。The worldbuilding is pretty good and I'm hoping it will improve and expand as Zylah continues her journey。 We really only learned about a very small amount of the world。 Does the king rule over all the land， or just a small portion？ I'm not really sure to be honest。I think the main annoyance for me was the romance。 It starts out as what just kind of seems like a fling and like Zylah isn't really interested in him。 Then another character mentions that it's not fair to him if she's interested in another。 And then they're sleeping together all the time？ There wasn't much chemistry in the relationship to me and it fell flat。 I will say I flew through this book and it was a fun read and I'll likely continue the series。 I really did like the characters and the idea and plot to the story and I'm really curious to see where it goes。 。。。more

Wow， I received and ARC of this book and it did not disappoint！ I have been waiting forever for a book to completely suck me in and not let go， and this book delivered。 Anyone who loves fantasy， romance， books comparable to FbAA and Acotar will love this。 I absolutely cannot wait until the next book comes out，
