Star Mother
Star Mother | Charlie N. Holmberg
7 posts | 9 read | 8 to read
A woman's heart proves as infinite as the night sky in a breathtaking fantasy by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg. When a star dies, a new one must be born. The Sun God chooses the village of Endwever to provide a mortal womb. The birthing of a star is always fatal for the mother, and Ceris Wenden, who considers herself an outsider, sacrifices herself to secure her family's honor and take control of her legacy. But after her star child is born, Ceris does what no other star mother has: she survives. When Ceris returns to Endwever, however, it's not nine months later--it's seven hundred years later. Inexplicably displaced in time, Ceris is determined to seek out her descendants. Being a woman traveling alone brings its own challenges, until Ceris encounters a mysterious--and desperate--godling. Ristriel is incorporeal, a fugitive, a trickster, and the only being who can guide Ceris safely to her destination. Now, as Ceris traverses realms both mortal and beyond, her journey truly begins. Together, pursued across the Earth and trespassing the heavens, Ceris and Ristriel are on a path to illuminate the mysteries that bind them and discover the secrets of the celestial world.

This #KindleUnlimited listen is well-performed! The mythic and fairy tale-like story centers around Ceris, who ends up volunteering for the role of Star Mother. Her name may go down as legend, but it‘s known as a universally lethal part for a mortal to birth a star… and yet, Ceris ends up defying the odds in this story of celestial warfare, gods and godlings and most of all, love. There‘s a sequel out now that I‘m curious to check out as well!

Read this in just over a day. I haven't read a lot of fantasy since I was younger, not knowing what to read that wasn't YA but also wasn't an intimidating "grown up" series like GOT or LOTR. This was perfect, it took me back to my middle school days of devouring fablehaven and getting lost in magical stories. Can't wait to read the sequel.?

Y'all this book is SO COOL. I've never read anything quite like it. I was picking up major Katniss Everdeen vibes in the beginning, but this is no Panem. As awesome as Katniss is I don't think she would have volunteered to have sex with the LITERAL Sun, who is somehow simultaneously a celestial deity with a human form responsible for populating the night sky with stars, and a flaming ball of gas that the entire solar system revolves around.

A lovely, soft fantasy with just enough magic & a beautiful folktale style story that had me hooked from the very beginning. Explores love & family in such a way that wrenched my heart more than once. I was simply in love with the characters. This book gave me all the feels, filling my heart & then smashing it to pieces. And I was totally cool with it. Charlie Holmberg has a beautiful talent & I love every world & character she creates.
