Summary

Kyon Ensin finally has what he's always wanted: possession of Kricket Hollowell, the priestess who foresees the future. Together, their combined power will be unrivaled. Kricket, however, doesn't crave the crown of Ethar - she has an unbreakable desire to live life on her own terms, a life that she desperately wants to share with her love, Trey Allairis.

As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket's so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted - including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket's resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone's pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart.

As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it. For she knows one thing above all else: the only person she can truly count on is herself.

Can't be the end

Any additional comments?

I was hooked on this series from the beginning and the narration was excellent. My only complaint is that the end was really unsatisfying. Although not a cliffhanger, there was definitely a sense of the story being unresolved. I went looking for the next book and found there was none. That was most disappointing.

Great!!!

Would you listen to Darken the Stars again? Why?

Absolutely. The story was so good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kricket is a very well developed character, you understand her from her background, and can identify with her emotions.

What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She did a very decent job of bring the characters to life, though I do have more favourite female narrators.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes I did have an emotional reaction to this book, I both laughed and cried.

Any additional comments?

The world building is great and story unique. Recommend this series wholeheartedly as I fell in love with the characters.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUDIOBOOKS!!!

What made the experience of listening to Darken the Stars the most enjoyable?

It wasn't predictable, it was more than a little heart-breaking which if I'm honest I sort of loved. This book brought out my inner masochist.
I don't know, I was just hooked. Amazing writing! Amazing female protagonist!
Now all I need is book 4.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cried a fair bit, but also laughed/smiled too.Excited all the way through, It's an amazing story. Now I just need the author to finish it.

My favourite series ever!

I absolutely adore this series, it's one of my favourite.
The story is so original and brilliant and I can never put the books down and I listen to the audiobook at every opportunity I get!
I first read the books and then had to try the audiobooks, they are brilliantly narrated with the characters really coming to life and it brings more to my imagination of the story. I especially loved wayra's voice.
Please Amy don't let this be the last book, I need to hear and read more about Kricket, her future and everyone else's future too.
Thank you for this wonderful series.

NO NO NO PLEASE DON'T BE THE LAST OF THE SERIES.

I absolutely loved this book and the 2 books previous within the series.
I hung on to every word with excitement.
everyone and everything was in great detail making me feel like I'm walking through life with kricket. the romance, the sadness and the passion as well as the fear I felt it all. I couldn't get enough and would listen every chance I got. I could see everyone and all the beautiful buildings as clear as day.
I cried when I realised that this was the last book. I always wanted her to be with tray until I realised how perfect Kiron is when he is with her. he loves her, really loves her and will do anything for her. I think tray will respect her and never look for her where as Kiron will hunt for her to the ends of earth and any other planet. she saved him and now he will try to save her once again. I would love there to be more in this series... by far the best series I have ever listened to / read.
love love love love it !!!

Devastatingly Brilliant

I hardly ever write anything here about books but always read what others say.

So if you are very similar then I highly recomend this book. There is absolutely nothing I can fault and truely felt like this book has left a part of itself with me.

It was just pure enjoyment from start to finish. I need more!!
