Summary

Kamir is on the verge of losing everything. Knowing full well he can't meet the ultimatum his parents have issued, he instead finally puts in motion his plans to live completely independent of them. His plans are interrupted, however, by the unexpected return of his despised ex-husband - and thrown even further into upheaval when he ends up comforting the man he's secretly loved for years.

Jader may not know where he comes from, but he knows where he belongs and what he wants - until he helps rescue some stranded Bentan travelers, one of whom looks almost exactly like Jader, throwing his life and everything he thought he knew into tumult. Scared and overwhelmed, Jader flees - and lands unexpectedly in the arms of a man he's always seen, but never really noticed.

Enjoyable Story

The concept is interesting and well written. The characters are likeable and the narration is good.

I really struggled to get through this book. There were so many excess details that should have been cut to stop the book from dragging. Details about the house that didn’t lead to anything, what periphery characters did during scenes that didn’t add to the story at all, and so many boring pointless scenes that didn’t add anything at all either. If it was trimmed down to a quarter of the size it could have been a good story. Also, the main characters didn’t spend much time together then were separated for loads of the story, and I just didn’t buy into their relationship at the end. It’s been a while since I heard the first two stories in this series, but I’m sure they were written better.

Just as a side note, the first two books seemed like they were paranormal mpreg type stories set in a fantasy land, whereas this one was much clearer that it’s a world where people decide their labels regardless of their body parts, and there’s nothing paranormal about it. I’d be interested to hear the first two books again to see if that was clearer but I just didn’t realise, or if the author left it vague on purpose. Doesn’t bother me, I just thought it odd as I wouldn’t normally miss stuff like that.

Can't recommend enough, I love this book!

I adore this series, and this book in particular. I enjoyed the story and I absolutely love the casual way Megan Derr includes trans characters in a lot of books. All the more the world building in this series that so easily allows for our existence. As a bi trans man who loves fantasy, it means the world to me to see someone like me as the protagonist here (and done very well, in my opinion).

The High King's Golden Tongue and The Pirate of Fathoms Deep are among my most read comfort reads, but The Heart of the Lost Star will have a place in my heart indefinitely ♥️
