'all the stars and teeth' by adalyn grace, spoiler free review

disclaimer; i think it's important for me to say that i stopped reading the book by the last 100 pages meaning i got about 70% through and stopped. this blog is for impatient readers (like me), so ima just be transparent.

all the stars and teeth (atsat) is a fantasy, romance, adventure novel written by adalyn grace and released in 2020. it's the first installment the duology with the second installment, all the tides of fate, being released in 2021.

first and foremost, i will give this novel a 3.5/5 based off what i read. in short, it was lukewarm. there were some things i really enjoyed and could get by, and there were others that were detrimental to the plot and over all enjoyability of the book. in the end, the cons outweighed the pros and i could no longer get myself to read the book.

characters (3/5)

the main character: amora is a teenage girl who just went through some serious trauma so it's understandable why she's kind of... unlikable? the whole book is told from her perspective so if you don't vibe with her that much, it can make reading it kind of a chore. amora is a very boring protagonist. she's supposed to be super altruistic and girlboss and care about her people/kingdom a lot to the point where she does some dumb shit just for "her kingdom". she's not very relatable, she doesn't have many emotions like she's pretty stoic which also makes her kind of boring imo. she's super mean to her arranged marriage fiance, ferrick. it gets to a point where she basically hates him and like doesn't care about his safety?? at all? even though he's not even bad she just doesn't like that he's in love with her. anyway, yeah i just don't really care for her.

love interest: bastian is the main love interest and he's also kind of a second lead i guess. he's a pirate with a deep dark secret that wants to help amora on her journey. hes charming, playful, kinda full of himself, mischievous, and hot. he's a lot more interesting than amora. i find this happens sometimes with ya novels aimed for teen girls: the male lead is usually more intriguing and fun than the female lead which i guess is because girls are supposed to put themselves into the main character's shoes and fall in love with the ml. i think he's a decent character, but not the typical swoon-worthy type.

side characters: ferrick and the mermaid chick(i can't remember her name at all) are the two side characters. these two are honestly great and i found them a lot more likable as people than the leads.

setting (4/5)

the best part of the book is the setting. you follow the crew on this ship and go to different magical islands on a magical boat. it's pretty cool and enjoyable.

story/lore (3/5)

it's a very typical 'i need to save my kingdom' type story, nothing you haven't seen done before. the plot can be confusing and hard to keep up with. the magic amora uses is also confusing and i didn't understand it. i had to keep referencing the beginning to remember, but maybe that's just me. i think the plot could have been more clear and simple? i just had a hard time keeping up with the story and understanding the characters' motivations. the romance side plot is decent, but as a romance LOVERRRR it didn't satisfy my needs.

verdict

this book was fun and exciting when i first started it. it's a pretty good book debut for adalyn grace. if you like fantasy adventure, pirates, and the sea, i recommend trying it out. but it isn't anything crazy worthwhile or different. if you're the impatient type like me, it could be a hit or miss. there's also a sequel, so keep that in mind.

overall rating; 3.5/5

i actually read this while i was waiting for belladonna to be available in my local library, and now i finally have it so i'm probably gonna be reviewing that real soon :)

I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting that yours will ever be.”
