# of Stars : ✨✨✨✨💥

The plot of this book is very interesting and it enchants you from the first page itself. The writing style and the sequence of the events taking place makes the book hard to put down and to forget.

Due to my exams it took me 2 months to finish the book eye roll and a laser shooting glare towards my examiners

however I never needed to go back and reread a few pages to remember what happened.

The characters are easy to love and sympathize with especially charlotte. From page one I admired charlotte's personality and shared her sorrow on how constricted she felt especially with the fact that her visions are becoming more vital and a matter of life and death (literally).

The beauty of APRILYNN PIKE's writing style is that it involves you unconsciously in the story and the characters thus as a result you ( the reader ) will fully experience charlotte's character development where she loses the guilt and replaces it with the understanding that her guilt was only her mind's defensive method to deal with the pain of what had happened years back. That guilt was also her mind's only reasoning on why she needs to fight her inner instinct and conscious and follow the rules the sister's has put.

Charlotte's mother is a normal realistic mother who has had enough of pain and loss in her life that she is on the verge of freaking out as soon as she comes to know that there is a small possibility she might be losing her daughter as well.

Charlotte's aunt, sierra, was very secretive and annoying at the beginning that resulted in me believing most of the weird conspiracies I came out with while reading ( sometimes even on my bed before I sleep when I just need to stop thinking of my studies :P )

At the end you come to see her point of view and understand why she did the things she did. You also come to see that non of your oh so great theories about her are true LOL

This book has a very undetailed, unnoticed love story and that was actually, for the first time ever, very enjoyable to me as I really loved how APRILYNN PIKE concentrated more on the oracles and their world to maintain the plot line than the romance aspect.

All in all this book is very interesting and appropriate for all ages and all literal tastes.

Until next time, stay kind to one another and always read.
