Will Meadow be the savior that they need?
A Shifting of Stars by Kathy Kimbray is a unique tale that is great for fans of the Young Adult Fantasy type. The way the story has been woven is magnificent. Meadow seems like a girl that life has thrown a ton of curveballs at, but she kept right there making it her own.
Meadow Sircha
Our narrator and first character that we met is Meadow Sircha. She is a seventeen-year-old girl who gets way above her head in this fantastical journey to try and stop what is going on in the kingdom. It all started because she wanted to read what she wrote about her grieving of her mom but turned into talking bad about the royal family. That started it all for her and the other characters in the book.

The Story
Ms. Kimbray's fantasy story is imaginative and made me feel like I was right there with the character. I love how she took different historical elements and mixed them. The emperor title is in a lot of ancient cultures, the kids' titles being from other countries, and the gladiators being from ancient Rome. She did all of that so seamlessly, and they all fit together in a remarkable story that made me want to keep reading it.
Five-star rating
A Shifting of Stars by Kathy Kimbray is an outstanding opener to a fantastic trilogy. I can't wait to read the next book. Ms. Kimbray did a great job on this story, and I am giving it a five-star rating. Along with recommending it to all young adult fantasy lovers out there.
Thank you for dropping by. I hope you enjoyed my review of A Shifting of Stars by Kathy Kimbray.
