A Dark and Hollow Star

Reviews

In my opinion the perfect way to build a world. Overall: I’m honestly very impressed with this debut. Characters: There are 4 main characters Arlo, Nausicaä, Aurelian and Vehan and they all have a major role to play. Plot and World building: What I loved about the plot of this book is that I never knew where it was taking me, it was constantly surprising and impressing me.

Arlo was so easy to relate to, she was so unsure of herself and constantly felt on the outside looking in and that she doesn’t belong anywhere. The next 2 main characters weren’t the focus of book 1 (hopefully we get more in book 2!

He was brooding and dramatic and obsessed with a certain someone and honestly it was really adorable. The way Ashley mixed them together was done really well and felt seamless.

Before I get to our main characters I’d like to take a second to talk about my favourite character Celadon. So straight away I knew I was going to love this book but oh boy did I not expect to love it this much! ) but were just as important and gave us a different perspective and important information.

He’s everything I love my male Fae characters to be; funny, charming, witty, gorgeous and kind. I loved this book and cannot wait for the second. For me he was the most mysterious throughout until we learn his terrible secret.

I could easily see myself in her, plus she loves games, manga and books and also has red hair, an easy insert for me. A Dark and Hollow Star is how I love my Urban Fantasy.

The whole idea that humans live beside Fae/Faries/Folk and just don’t know it has always been massively appealing to me, it makes my inner child hopeful and giddy. Vehan wasn’t your typical mean cruel Prince, he was kind and considerate and constantly wanted to help and protect others, it was refreshing.
