Synopsis

First born princess of Goryeo is promised to Silla in marriage. What has begun as a promise between families becomes a pact sealed in blood when her betrothed is mysteriously killed. Now what binds Seol, the lady Ha In of Goryeo to Silla is a blood debt – to turn away from it would be to topple the country into irreparable chaos.

Yet, her heart lies with another.

Raised from obscurity of illegitimacy, fate of concubine - born last son of northern Kang clan rests on the emperor’s grace. However, being tasked with the guardianship of the imperial princess is the last of his worries. In the whirlwind of emotions that she brings along, it is not just his title that is at stake, but his heart and a secret that he had brought from a grave of a different time.

Theirs is a fate from an age gone by, but a love impossible to attain. Theirs is a story written upon dying stars.

***

From inside:

The snow caressed him in a way she yearned to; fluttering against his lashes, tangled up in his hair. She has always felt home in north, in the valleys that filled themselves with her namesake and with this man beside he, arrows slung over his shoulder and laughter in his eyes. Silla and her betrothed would never take that place.

Seol opens her mouth; it is now or never.

“Don’t say it,” he cuts her off, a hand stretched out for a lonely snowflake to perch upon. It turns translucent against his roughed palm.

“My hand isn’t made for snowflakes,” he sounds joyous, as he always does – when she is weeping within. His eyes remain resolutely elsewhere.

“I’ve been summoned to the garrison,” he continues in that same flat tone. “My last duty here will be to deliver your highness to your betrothed.”

She is unaware of the tear that has escaped, until an ice cold thumb brushes it off.

“Don’t cry,” he says then and she sees the laughing spark in his eyes for what it truly is; longing. “It breaks my heart.”

Applause to the author for the beautiful style of writing and narration provided! I wasn't sure what I expected when I began to unravel the world of Snow & Starlight, but I was hooked instantly. The character descriptions are crisp, a visualization, and intoxicating on their own. Author has a talent for world-building and sets the tone for a complex royalty romance novel. The events are well-paced and consistent with the turmoil the characters face. I look forward to catching up on the chapters. It amazes me that there aren't more reviews, but I have no doubt novel will gain traction soon. Keep it up!

At first I was a little sceptical after looking at all the reviews full of high praise. It didn't even take me a single paragraph to realise that they are all true. The author's writing is just *Chef's Kiss*. Love it. Not just the writing, the story and the characters are equally engaging. Whatever you do author just don't turn this into a tragedy. I am already rooting for the main leads. Their chemistry is way too precious to be ruined.

Everything is just Wow! I only have read about four or five fantasy romance books. But this book will be one of the two books that rise my interest in this genre. Overall, world building is good, story is written in a way that you want to read more. Writing quality is wonderful. I haven't seen a grammar mistake so far. Character design is a master's work... Truly so... I am reading it now and recommend it to other readers.

With an intro that presents a tragic scene that leaves the reader eager to find out what exactly transpired for this to be happening. The author’s execution of deliverering description and impact is entertainingly eloquent. I only read the first two chapters and the first chapter definitely draws the reader in and left me eager to read all that this story has to offer. The second chapter gives the reader a feel of the kind of lifestyle that is of the populace in the story and shows some of how royals can have fun and be mischievous. It definitely shows promise of having impressive things to look foward to reading and, from what I’ve read so far, it’s worth your while to read and find out the experience delivered from immersing yourself into this story. This story sounds like it might be a potent experience.

Going in based of the synopsis, I really did not know what to make of this story's potential. As I read the first chapter and the detailed visualization of the blood soaked lead carrying the girl was handled so well. I was actually impressed with it. Not to mention that the structure of the chapters are handled rather well. The book is pleasant to the eyes with little to no mistakes I would recommend it, so thus a stone was given on this occasion.

This book is different, and I mean different. It's different, contrasting, divergent, diametrical, just different. It's so interesting in many ways that I never thought of.
