Review ------ "Reminiscent of the kinds of fantasy books I loved when I was a young teenager, tales of princess angst, horses, and the blossoming of reluctant love. This book is bold enough to create a world that moves beyond the prejudices we are still fighting in our real world."--Caitlyn Paxson, NPR "A deeply romantic, bold, and nuanced fantasy. You will be captivated by Denna and Mare and their star-crossed love for each other."--Malinda Lo, Author of Ash and Huntress "Lovely...a worthy debut that succeeds as both an adventure and a romance."--Booklist "Murder, mayhem, magic, romance-and horses...a romantic fantasy that will appeal to those who appreciate character-driven novels."--Kirkus Reviews "I devoured Of Fire and Stars in two sittings; it's a delightful debut, full of all the things I like best in a fantasy story, including not one but two wonderful heroines. I'm looking forward to seeing what Audrey does in the future!"--Mercedes Lackey, New York Times bestselling author of over 125 books, including the Valdemar series "Coulthursts's debut is an absolute delight; I loved seeing these smart, fierce princesses fall in captivating, slow-burn love as they investigate political assassinations and unravel magical conspiracies."--Corinne Duyvis, author of Otound and On the Edge of Gone "Romantic, compelling, and bursting with fascinating characters, Of Fire and Stars is the fantasy novel we've all been waiting for."--Amy Tintera, author of Ruined "A slow-burn love story about two unique, brave, and endearing young women."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "A powerful and exquisite love story"--Publishers Weekly (starred review) About the Author ---------------- Audrey Coulthurst writes YA books that tend to involve magic, horses, and kissing the wrong people.
