A magical world filled with a range of mystical creatures awaits you in this book. It's a fun, short read about a fae looking for his soul mate and finding him in a most unexpected and dangerous place: the human world. Filled with adventures and unexpected events, it will take you on an enjoyable ride across the fae and human realms.

Anil may be shocked when he's told that his mate is a human, but his belief in the prophesy is strong enough for him to leave the fae realm and travel to the human one. His initial hesitancy about the "crown of stars" he expects to find is a slight drawback, but by the time he has met Cefin, crown or no crown, he begins to fall in love.

Cefin is a human who has no trouble in believing in the fae world, or any other creatures and realms beyond his human experience. For him, loving and being loved is far more important than details like where he is going to live. He is a trusting soul, and not even the kidnapping and short separation from Anil can stop him from falling for the enigmatic fae.

If you like spicy fairy tales about finding mates in unexpected places, if you enjoy reading about fae and other magical creatures, and if you're looking for a feel-good read with just enough suspense to make it interesting, then you will probably like this short story.

A Hearts On Fire Review

TWO & A HALF STARS--Set in Wales, Pelaam's "A Crown of Stars" is literally a fairy tale, a story with a fairy as a main character. Anil, one of the fae, is searching for his fated soul mate and has not found his mate anywhere in the fae or elven realm. He travels to present day Wales in search of his fated mate. But he does not know anything other than a riddle from a seer in his land.

Anil and friend catch the eye of Cefin, a gay male who works at his grandmother's bookstore. He follows Anil and a fellow fae friend, sparks collide, fate intervenes and ta-da fated mates!

The story had a good start. I wish more detail was given into the fae world and how more of their customs worked. it read like the reader was just supposed to know what each character was capable of. The ending was...alright-ish.

The author rushed parts of the story or got ahead of the story at some points. Also the declarations of love were a smidge too fast. For example, Anil comes to the human realm for the first time and automatically stays with a woman name Blodwyn. There's no explanation if she's magical, human or not. She knows what Anil is and wasn't surprised. Eh, missed opportunity to me.

The story is readable but don't expect a wow factor. It's an okay way to pass a half hour when you have free time, just don't have high expectations." ( )
