My Review
I have been long awaiting this 3rd book in the Star Child Series. I enjoyed the other books so much that I almost devoured this book to find out what had happened to Kellen, Cali and Gabe. Stephanie Keyes has created such a wealth of characters, myth and magic that transport the reader to a world of faeries, spells, shape shifters and a battle of epic proportions. Good against evil. I have a little soft spot for the lovely Gabe and its not often that a supporting character interests me but I love his humour and his loyalty to Kellen. The relationship between Kellen and Cali is a beautiful and heartwarming story of young love against all the odds. The mortal and immortal worlds collide and make it difficult for the young couple to find true happiness.
Stephanie Keyes has once again delivered the goods with this book. It had me hooked from page one almost immediately. It begins exactly where the last book left off so I'd recommend you read all the books in the series to allow for better understanding of the central characters and the challenges that they face. The Star Catcher is exciting and fast paced and had me hold my breath in anticipation on more than one occasion. It has a slightly more mature theme than the previous books as Kellen and Cali's relationship progresses. However, this is done in a beautiful and breathtaking way and remains completely suitable for young adults. I'd highly recommend this series to all! What an imagination Stephanie Keyes has!
Magick and destiny intertwine as he fights to save his kingdom and the goddess he loves.
Her kiss…the feel of her skin…the beat of her heart…For seventeen-year-old Kellen St. James, each memory is marred by a single sentence on a lone strip of paper.
Cali has been taken…
Armed with an amulet that channels the ultimate power of Faerie, Kellen searches for his love. However, control of the amulet’s energy comes with a price, and Kellen soon learns that Cali’s captor has plans for the stone. With the threat of the Star Catcher’s evil looming above Kellen and his kingdom, he’ll have to free the Heart of Faerie and break the curse the binds the Children of Danu to the darkness. But before that, he has to find his real father, the king. No pressure, right?
Kellen and Cali will battle bewitched armies and unknown foes as they fight to stay together. Will Kellen embrace his immortal destiny? Or will his world, and the man he is fated to become, be destroyed by The Star Catcher?
"One of the best endings in a trilogy I have seen in a while. Fans will not be disappointed!"-Jackie Jackson, The Book Maven
