To preface: i think this is sincerely a case of "it's not the book, it's me." i imagine that there are people out there who will adore this! i just regret that i'm not one of them. Thank you, Peachtree/Peachtree Teen, for the advance reading copy. I need to see you all grow and have more adventures. However, the ending got me crying cos, ahem, it left me hanging.Īnya, Ruby, Chloe. I want to protect these characters so much yet they are much stronger than what I initially thought about them. Author, are you planning to torture me?! When is the next book coming out?! I need the advance reading copy of the next book as well! Don't want to spoil things but there are characters you'd enjoy hating. You can also expect good participance of the other side characters as well. For the main characters, I say they are imperfect perfect. The character development is really good. And this book is bringing me right on track on what I have been missing out. I haven't enjoyed a young reader's book in such a long time. They're flawed but that's how perfect they are. I mean WOW! The writing is so good! You will fall for the characters without even trying. As Quinta and Twain search the Emporium for answers, though, they discover the secret might not have been lost-but destroyed. However, they can’t sew a dress without more material, and the secret to starlight’s origins has been lost for centuries. She commissions Quinta and Twain to make her a starlight dress and will reward them handsomely enough to make their dreams come true.
Soon, their lace catches the eye of the Casorina, the ruler of Severon. Two, they enter the store and discover a book that teaches them how to weave starlight into lace. When Quinta meets Twain outside the Emporium, two things happen: One, Quinta starts to fall for this starlight boy, who uses his charm to hide his scars. Meanwhile, Quinta, the ordinary daughter of an extraordinary circus performer, chases rumors of the shop, The Vermilion Emporium, desperate for a way to live up to her mother’s magical legacy. On the morning Twain, a lonely boy with a knack for danger, discovers a strand of starlight on the cliffs outside Severon, a mysterious curiosity shop appears in town. Jamie Pacton’s fantasy debut is a story of timeless love and deadly consequences.
