Ruins of Starlight by B.C. FaJohn

That ending-what just happened? I’m still trying to process it!
This book completely surprised me. It stands apart from her previous work in the best way, and I felt an even stronger connection to the storyline this time around. The twists and direction of the plot kept me hooked, and now I can’t wait to dive into the second book.
The way the world is built is stunning. The layers of magic, the curse systems, and the magical lore are so rich and fascinating that I found myself fully immersed. This is just the first book, so there’s only a taste of what's to come, but you can tell there’s a much larger story being set up.
Morgana and Aster’s dynamic was a highlight. The slow build of their relationship, with just the right amount of tension and witty back-and-forth, was addictive. Still, their personal goals and the gripping mystery surrounding the royal family kept the focus exactly where it needed to be.
A brilliant mix of betrayal, magic, curses, hidden truths, and political intrigue, all set in a beautifully crafted fantasy world. I was completely drawn in and can’t wait to see how this series unfolds!
