I had high expectations for Our Child of Two Worlds, Our Child of the Stars was one of my top books back in 2019 and I was very happy when I read that the follow up was being published.
When you have high expectations and loved a book I am always a bit wary about the follow up as I don’t know if it will be up to the first novel and if I will feel again the emotion I felt.
I am very happy to say that all my expectations were met and my doubts solved: this is another page turner that I couldn’t put down, that moved me and made fell in love again with Corey and the great cast of characters.
It’s a book about choices, hope against all odds, war, what it means belonging, and the difficulties in letting go.
There’s a lot going on and there’s never a moment when the plot drags or stopped making me feel emotionally involved in the story.
Stephen Cox is an excellent storyteller, he developed great characters and a fascinating alternate history and world.
It was a riveting, compelling, and gripping read. It left suffering from book hangover as I didn’t want to turn the last page.
A well written and emotionally charged story that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to Jo Fletecher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
