• 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖐 𝕽𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖊𝖜 • Light of the Second Star by Vanessa Raccio is a heartbreaking fantasy read. This book is another testimony of how retellings may give an already beloved literary piece a completely new perspective. I would first like to draw attention on the character sketching. These characters—many of whom are children—deal with both the positive and negative truths of life. As adults, we sometimes fail to remember that complexity was something we had to deal with even as kids. It is brilliantly illustrated in this book. I have experienced rollercoaster of emotions while reading this book. We overlook the fact that bad guys are made, not born. I felt guilty after reading Jay's narrative in an empathic manner. Most of the time, individuals genuinely want to be appreciated. The only thing I had to complain about was that the book seemed to be streching a bit to much sometimes, but each chapter was necessary. When I got to chapter 7, I felt like the plot started to get extremely interesting. After that, the speed picked up, and I found myself unable to put the book down. Really heartbreaking, and not at all what I expected, was how it ended. It's cathartic. Overall, it's a wonderful story that I recommend to dark fantasy readers. Thank you @netgallay for this ARC.
