I really wanted to like Tarnished are the Stars. I just...didn't. The writing style came off a little more middle grade than YA to me, which wasn't what I was expecting. The characters actions and motivations felt kind of...extreme? And our three main characters didn't start working together until very far into the book, which made the pacing feel really weird to me. It's like the entire first half of the book was just build-up. This is Rosiee Thor's debut, so I look forward to checking out her future stuff. I think there were some really good elements. This one just wasn't for me.
