"Fierce and unrelenting...Do yourself a favor and get lost in this beautiful book!" ?? Tomi Adeyemi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Children of Blood and Bone "Narrator Shayna Small delivers a versatile performance in this young adult fantasy filled with mermaids and magic." ?? AudioFile Magazine
Set in a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaids seek vengeance with song, and magic is a choice, Adalyn Grace's All the Stars and Teeth is a thrilling fantasy for fans of Stephanie Garber's Caraval and Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series. She will reign. As princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer??the master of souls. The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it's never been a choice. To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy's dangerous soul magic. When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee. She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he'll help her prove she's fit to rule, if she'll help him reclaim his stolen magic. But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder??and more peril??than Amora anticipated. A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she'll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stow-away she never expected... or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever. I am the right choice. The only choice. And I will protect my kingdom. An Imprint Book "Vicious and alluring, All the Stars and Teeth is a force to be reckoned with." ??Hafsah Faizal, author of We Hunt the Flame
"Jam-packed with swashbuckling adventure, swoonworthy romance, and dark, lush magic." ??Christine Lynn Herman, author of The De… (altro)
A great start to this duology. I love that Adalyn Grace jumps right into the story and builds the world throughout the book. I loved the different types of magic and the lore behind the reason for everyone only being allowed to use one type of magic.
The ending was bittersweet and I am looking forward to reading the conclusion in the second book. ( )
I was not unhappy with this book but also not happy. It had an interesting plot idea, but it felt like it wasn't executed very well. I was incredibly linear and the characters felt like they were getting dragged along by the authors' whim, which sounds weird but the characters just kind of existed in this world and were subjected to things that they had no control over. There's a lot of things that happen all at once in the end and it left me confused about a few things, and not really wanting to read the next book. It's definitely a YA book. It kind of follows a lot of YA cliches, but it's not a bad book either, it's just not a book for me. I think it was missing a lot of things that could have made it much better. ( )
3.5 I liked this book, but didn't really get into it until I was close to 40% through. It will stick with me though and I await the sequel grudgingly... I need to know what happens next. ( )
If you're going to read a YA book this is the one you should read. I am not one to typically enjoy YA, but the cover/blurb caught my attention, and the story didn't let me go. The author wove the words in the most entrancing way to create an epic adventure.
The main character, Amora, is a work of art. She is strong, yet flawed. A product of her upbringing, but has the ability to rise above what she thought she was destined for. Her journey of discovery was enthralling. I felt every emotion with her, and cheered her on through all the struggles. All of her crew mates hold their own burdens, and are just as thoughtfully created down to their core. While there was a bit of sexual tension in the story, it was in no way a romance, or insta-love. Very well written and and believable characters, with many layers to each of them.
I will be looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Amora.
The world is amazing, I loved the twist on magical abilities, and the lesson in folklore/history, jealousy and greed. So many layers to discover and the story peeled them back perfectly.
