All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
4.0
adventurous dark medium-paced

All the Stars and Teeth is an action-packed YA Fantasy Adventure book. Filled to the brim with magic, princesses, pirates, and mermaids, All the Stars and Teeth delivers the reader to a new world you can't wait to explore.

The beginning of the book was a bit dense. I had difficulty navigating the magic system and the geography of the book. The author pushes you and wants to figure things out on the way through the book. Eventually, I got into the flow, and the rest of the book sped by. Also, some of the battle scenes could be confusing. A lot would be happening at once and could get jumbled together.

I wish we saw more of the mermaids, and the author added towns/cities to the map. Hopefully, more mermaids will be present in the sequel.

Soul magic is pretty gross, so if you don't have an affinity for blood, maybe skip this novel. There is also some self-harm, but it's intended for magic.

Overall, I would give this book four stars, and I can't wait to get the sequel.
