Average rating5
The war is over but the godly games continue. Stella McKay has only ever wanted one thing: an epic romance like her parents have. She was raised on fairy tales and thinks she's finally found her own legendary love with Prince Arden. But when her prince is unexpectedly betrothed to someone else, Stella and Arden must seek out the goddess of love in the desperate hope she'll grant them a coveted heart bond. Instead, the mischievous deity links Stella to the last person she'd ever want an intimate emotional connection with: Teddy Savero. The only way to break the bond and reclaim her true love is to win the Gauntlet Games and secure a favor from the gods. The brutal tournament will test Stella in feats of wisdom, memory, and magic. But the greater threat to her happily ever after comes when Teddy enters as a contender. With rebel assassins lurking, her opponents out for blood, and her new heart bond proving to be a perilous liability, Stella must outwit both gods and men before her competitors claim the winning favor-or her life. A LEGACY OF STARS is a standalone spinoff from The Lost God Series that can be read before or after reading the original series. This rivals to lovers story is full of witty banter, complex family dynamics, and two warriors at odds with each other and their own hearts. It's perfect for readers who loved the next generation stories in The Ever Seas Series by LJ Andrews, the brutal godly magical tournament of Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas, and the scorching romance of Helen Scheuerer's Blood and Steel.

At first when reading this book I thought it was going to be very similar to The Serpent and The Wings of Night, but I was so wrong. Although very similar themes The Legacy of Stars is unmatched in its unique character development and teachings. I adore how our female main character sets boundaries all throughout the book and never waivers or disrespects herself by breaking them. This is quite unusual for female characters and I think it's a bit iconic and it definitely sets her up as a good role model for girls and women. The romance of this story completely overtook me, all I wanted was for it to work out and every time it took a dip or didn't work out it actually hurt my soul. There is a strong underlying terror element from the Sons of Endros which kept the pacing and plot moving along nicely. I would have liked to see what happened to Endros at the end, he was tucked away nicely to end his plot line, but I just wanted a bit more from it. I am very sad that I read the ARC so quickly, I wanted to get lost with Stella forever. It is definitely one of my top books for this year. Thank you to The Realm Studios for the ARC.
