I received Crown of Stars as a review book from LibraryThing without realizing it was Book 2 in a trilogy called The Night Song Trilogy. I have enjoyed a gothic romance series in the past, so I immediately ordered Book 1: Love is Red and read it first. I am glad that I did because Book 2 needed the settings, background, and story of book one to be enjoyed fully. These book selections were a bit out of my usual interest but have I enjoyed some books with witchcraft or good and evil characters in the past such Discovery of Witches. Separate stories, hundreds of years apart are intertwined. From New York City to Medieval England this author tells the stories of Margaret, Katherine and Lucas, a brutal murder, obsession, and destiny. It was sometimes difficult to follow the storyline but it does fall together overall. Read Love of Red: Book 1 of the Night Song Trilogy first. I give the book" Crown of Stars" a 4-star rating as I would also give to "Love is Red. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was one I couldn't put down. Chilling, suspenseful, full of psychological terror. This fantasy novel is a sequel, but not having read the first book, it was an excellent stand alone story. The tale is woven between seventeenth century Margaret and present day Katherine. Supernatural forces at work, both good and evil gave this a compelling and engrossing plot. Will definitely read the rest of the series. Thanks to Harper-Collins for an advanced readers copy. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Usually I try to read books in a series (in this case a trilogy) in order. So, when I received Crown of Stars by Sophie Jaff to review; I immediately checked out the first novel Love is Red. That book was so intense and so exciting I couldn’t out it down and as much I like to also say you don’t need to read the books in order, in this case, I think you do.Crown of Stars starts off a few months after Love is Red ends. Katherine has taken custody of her best friend’s son Lucas and all seems well. Until those two blue lines show up on her pregnancy test. Meanwhile, we are again taken back to medieval England and Margaret. Is she really a witch? Yeppers, she really is. Between Margaret’s story and that of Katherine and Lucas and Sael (baby daddy) it is somewhat hard to keep track. I was a bit confused several times but pushed on and all became clear. If you like thrillers, medieval curses, murder and all those lovely things, you will adore Crown of Stars which will draw you in a keep you there until it is finished. Did I mention it is part of a trilogy? I can’t wait! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Other than the fact that it took almost two months to arrive, I absolutely fell in love with this book. Supernatural, History and romance what more could I ask for in a book. I did not read the first in the trilogy, however it flashed back with enough detail to keep me in the loop and not feeling like I was completely lost. I loved the detail and description of every felling and place that was visited and I am now very anxious for the third in this trilogy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The story alternates between Katherine, in the present, and Margaret hundreds of years ago, in a medieval English village. Katherine is trying to rebuild her life after the horrible events of last summer when she was attacked and her roommate murdered. Her boyfriend has left her and now she discovers she is pregnant. Margaret has just left her village after her father remarried, but she has inherited her mother’s talents, and there are rumors she is a witch.
Like the first novel in the trilogy, this is a blend of genres including elements of horror, fantasy, and the supernatural. The story was well-written and the book difficult to put down. I’m always leery of “middle book syndrome” in a trilogy, but this was a pleasant surprise, as good as the first book with lots of suspense and unexpected twists. And for the few times I became a little confused, answers were revealed as the story progressed. However there is a big cliffhanger at the end, so I am anxiously anticipating book three! ( )
