All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth, #1)

by Adalyn Grace

Named as one of Entertainment Weekly's most anticipated books of 2020, Adalyn Grace's All the Stars and Teeth is a thrilling fantasy for fans of Stephanie Garber's Caraval and Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series.

As princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer-the master of souls. The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it's never been a choice. To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy's dangerous soul magic.

When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee. She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he'll help her prove she's fit to rule, if she'll help him reclaim his stolen magic.

But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder-and more peril-than Amora anticipated. A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she'll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stow-away she never expected... or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever.

WOW! What a solid & magical debut! Princesses, Pirates, and Mermaids, OH MYYYY! Chock full of MAGIC, high-seas adventure, secrets, curses, betrayals, plus some amazingggg chemistry...

Purely action packed from cover to cover.

I have put off reading this for a year, because... honestly I have no good reason. I just was afraid of being disappointed, as high seas fantasy & adventure novels filled with mythical sea creatures, mysteries and magics happen to be some of my all time favorite types of novels so...

Anyway, I was NOT disappointed! It did feel a bit too short, but I DID wait that year to read and it just so happens the second book was released this week... so no waiting for me!
