City of stardust

The book we will be reviewing today is The City of Stardust penned by Georgia Summers.


Georgia Summers is a debut author who weaves an intricate blend of magic, mystery, and heartache in her novel. The City of Stardust is a dark and atmospheric tale that will captivate fans of fantasy and suspense alike.






The story follows Violet Everly, the last of her bloodline, as she attempts to unravel the curse that has haunted her family for generations. With each new discovery, Violet's journey becomes more treacherous, leading her to face ancient gods, vengeful monsters, and the painful truths of her own past.


“What else is a curse but this? Love, stretched and warped beyond all meaning.” This line captures the idea that even love, when taken to extremes, can transform into something destructive.


“Yet heavy dreams make for heavy burdens.” Here, the author reminds us that pursuing our desires too greedily comes at a high price.


“The end of the world looks a lot like the beginning of another, it turns out.” This quote reflects the idea that just because something ends, it doesn’t mean everything is lost.


If you enjoy tales of dark magic, complex family dynamics, and emotional journeys with a touch of suspense, The City of Stardust is the perfect read. Georgia Summers’s world-building is immersive, and the characters are layered, making this a story you won’t easily forget.
