About this listen

From Nommo Award finalist Kerstin Hall

"A layered and incisive examination of power.” (Rory Power, New York Times best-selling author of Wilder Girls)

"Stunning, bloody, and everything I adore in fantasy.” (Emily Duncan, New York Times best-selling author of Wicked Saints)

"Both haunted and haunting." (A. K. Larkwood, author of The Unspoken Name)

She swallowed a star, and the Sisterhood called her the Eater.

Elfreda Raughn will avoid pregnancy if it kills her, and one way or another, it will kill her. Though she's able to stomach the gruesome day-to-day duties, the reality of preserving the Order's magical bloodline horrifies her, but the Sisters of Aytrium have sworn to pay a price for the safety of their nation. Elfreda wants out, whatever the cost.

So when a shadowy cabal approaches her with an offer of escape, she leaps at the opportunity. As their spy, she gains access to the highest reaches of the Order and enters a glittering world of opulent parties, subtle deceptions, and unexpected bloodshed.

A phantasmagorical indictment of hereditary power, Star Eater takes listeners deep into a perilous and uncanny world where even the most powerful women are forced to choose what sacrifices they will make so that they might have any choice at all.

Superb

Very well written, original, and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it. Some of the elements in it are a bit grim, but make it a more powerful novel.

The romance is woman loving male, not wlw - disappointing.

I wish book descriptions would make it clearer what the romance options are going to be, as am just not interested in wasting time on more women pining after males.

The story is interesting enough and had promise, and the narrator was pretty good. I could not finish the book however. Struggled to relate to or care about any of the characters. Felt like there was missing depth and a lack of character development... also lacked chemistry between the f&m romance leads. Certain parts of the story also just didn't make sense, e.g. an 'organised' attack occurring from within a place where nobody expected the protagonists to be... with no explanation provided for it. It's hard to explain fully without spoilers.

It's a pity as the story had some originality to it, and I really tried to enjoy it. Just not for me.
