Blurb:
A squandering
emperor.
A wicked prince.
A handsome stranger.
And the reluctant
girl who’ll capsize a kingdom.
Seventeen-year-old Meadow Sircha watched her mother die from
the wilting sickness. Tormented by the knowledge that the emperor failed to
import the medicine that would have saved her, she speaks out at a gathering of
villagers, inciting them to boycott his prized gladiator tournament.
But doing so comes at a steep cost.
Arrested as punishment for her impulsive tongue, Meadow
finds herself caught up in the kind of danger she’s always tried to avoid.
After a chance meeting with an enigmatic boy, she’s propelled on a perilous
trek across the outer lands. But she soon unearths a staggering secret: one
that will shift her world—and the kingdom—forever.
Filled with longing
and heart, surprise and wonder, A SHIFTING OF STARS is perfect for fans of AN
EMBER IN THE ASHES, RED QUEEN and SHADOW AND BONE.
My Review:
Meadow is stilling grieving her mother’s death. Her mother
died a year ago from the wilting sickness. Meadow is mostly upset as her mother’s
life could have been spared if the emperor would have had the medicine needed
to save her mother imported. She blames the emperor for her mother’s death and
wants revenge.
After speaking out against the emperor Meadow is arrested
and sent to jail to be punished. She meets this nice young man who helps her
escape. Meadow with this young man’s help spend their time looking for her
father after she hears that he has been arrested as well.
We are introduced to a lot of different characters in the
beginning that was a little hard to follow and keep them all straight that sort
of made the story slow to follow but as the story developed it did move along
and pick up with a vengeance. There were a few twists that threw me for loop
and grabbed my attention real quick like after that and I couldn’t put it down.
I loved this new twist that just set the story off. These twists are what made
this book and gave it its five stars. So keep reading as it does get better.
I would recommend A Shifting of Stars to all fantasy fans.
Read to find the twists that are so magically enthralling.
