My Review:
Secrets Of The Stars was an thrilling pirate adventure story that I enjoyed reading with my son for a bedtime story.
Firstly I loved that this book contained an all female pirate crew, though my eight year old didn’t really register this fact as we read. Our favourite character was definitely Aleja as we both admired her bravery and her cleverness at solving puzzles. Each of the crew had different skills to bring into the story which I thought was very clever and helped them work together well as a team. I enjoyed getting to know them and watch their relationship with each other develop throughout the book.
We both loved the vivid descriptions in this book which made us feel like we were actually visiting all the places alongside the characters. I felt like I could see everything they did and even smell the same things that they could. It has definitely made my eight year old want to travel to those places so he can experience them for himself.
I thought this story had a great pace to it and there was always something happening to make the book hard to put down after our planned chapter per day. I ended up having to let my son read it first as he was so eager to keep reading.
This is actually the second book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone like we did. We will look forward to reading more from this author on the future.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book.
