I loved that book way better than the previous one. The plot felt like it moved faster, and I think I loved the POV characters better ?
I never really felt like I missed Harper/Rhen

Grey was such an interesting protagonist, but for me Lia Mara was the real surprise. She's awsome.

TYCHO IS HERE (he's really the reason I picked up this trilogy in the first place)
I have a feeling that all his scenes in AHSFAB are gonna make re-reading Forging Silver Into Stars wayyyyyy more sad than it was when I first read it. I can't wait to cry :)

Spoilers :

– RHEN
How dare you ? I can't believe he put on this whole "I wanna be you friend" act with Grey just to do THAT to give and Tycho like ok you fear magic but to the point of torturing the only friend you had for an eternity and an innocent 15yo ?!?!?!?! Really ?!?!?!?!
– Lia Mara and Grey's romance was AMAZING
I love them.

⚠️ Spoilers for Forging Silver Into Stars ⚠️ :

Every time Noah said that Tycho would follow Grey off a cliff I was reminded of how Grey treated him in FSIS 

Damn I can wait to re-read that book.
