Powerful, devastating and beautifully lyrical. Having adored The Door of No Return, I was apprehensive about picking up its sequel but I had no need to worry. Black Star was just as unforgettable, moving compelling as its predecessor. I devoured this in a few hours, finding it impossible to pull myself away from. I am incredibly intrigued and excited as to how book three will continue to explore this family’s story. I can’t recommend these books more highly.
