It's been a long time since a novel without a center-stage romance has held my interest. The other none-romancey parts of Dark Star are just THAT good. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely romantic tensions and a slow budding relationship, but I didn't rely on it's meatiness to keep my interest. I was just so incredibly intrigued with Frenette's world. The creativity and imagination really burns bright in this book.
I'm going to be super vague in this ramble because I don't want to give away a single secret or twist. Also, I'm feeling particularly lazy so this isn't really going to be a well-thought out review, just a compilation of my thoughts after finishing Dark Star.
First major thought -- ZOMG I need book two. Dark Star builds to an explosive showdown with one shocking twist after another. I can't even grasp how awesome book two is going to be now that Audrey will be playing an even bigger role. She spends a lot of Dark Star coming to terms with the secrets regarding her heritage.
I liked Audrey. A lot. She's strong and resilient. When a friend is in danger, if Audrey can help, she will. She can be quite reckless at times, but it all comes from a good place.
Audrey has two pretty great friends, Tink and Gideon, especially Gideon. He is so sweet and funny and protective. I love how they played central roles in Audrey's life. They didn't disappear like some MC friends tend to do. You could really get a sense of the deep bonds of friendship the three have.
There's loads more I could say, but like I said, I'm a bit lazy right now. Basically if you want something to and exciting with fresh ideas, read Dark Star. It's a one maybe two sitting kind of read.
