The Chaos of Stars

Product Information

Tyler has a boyfriend named Scott (a guy) who has a friend named Ry (also a guy) who is named after Orion. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can’t shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family. I live in Vienna, Austria and, apart from reading, I enjoy movies, video games, thunderstorms, eternally bickering couples, coffee, and anything made of chocolate. It’s natural for a teen to be confused about their feelings and be distant from their out-of-control family, while still trying to figure things out from their life. Haciendo un resumen el libro se trataba de una de los hijos mortales de Isis y Osiris, dioses de Egipto, en tiempos actuales que por cierta situación se va a EEUU a vivir temporalmente con uno de sus hermanos.

Their friendship and romance were rather enjoyable because I always knew Isadora would come around eventually – that certainty made me smile even when she was being extremely difficult and frustrating. It was difficult to like the main character without having to roll my eyes and enduring page after page of Isadora’s nagging and whining about her family. I tried going through them one day sometime last year, only to discover how terribly juvenile they all were, but hey, I was a tween! There are a few relevant points, but ultimately, it didn't feel that important and the relevant ones could have been presented in a much better way.

I thought Isadora was a little spoiled and naïve, but I am glad that she does become more appreciative by the end of the book. Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of Paranormalcy, is back with The Chaos of Stars, an enchanting novel set in Egypt and San Diego that captures the magic of first love and the eternally complicated truth about family.

The Romance: There's insta-love, but it didn't bother me so much, mostly because Isadora is so determined to suppress her feelings completely. The child feels unloved, the mother does everything in her power to protect her daughter, and yet somehow these two can’t just get together and work out their problems. Cast out, Isadora's mom starts giving birth to a daughter named Dora and she decides to possibly (forget it, you know she is) giving Ry a chance although she doesn't believe in his love-crap baloney. I had a particularly hard time finding a book for that prompt, not because there aren’t any SFF novels out there, but because none of them interested me very much. Once in San Diego, she is horrified at the prospect of yet ANOTHER inconvenient pregnancy, in this case, her brother's wife's incoming baby.Her mother has a baby every 20 years, however Isadora is only 16 and this baby is coming a few years early. And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you. Instead, I found out what I hated about Paranormalcy because this book had the same proble: it was gimmicky. God, I would rather reread the whole Twilight series THEN watch all of the movies than reread this book.

The truly brilliant thing about Kiersten White is that she somehow changes her writing style for each new book and/or series.So that was kinda a bummer because I was sure he was one of the bad guys with everything bad he did in the past. As a character, Isadora is (by design) fairly arrogant and self-absorbed, but she also has a point: it’s hard to understand why immortal parents would purposely give their child mortality. Admittedly, I wasn’t very encouraged at the Goodreads average rating but in the first early chapters, I’ve come across with Osiris reading a newspaper in Tagalog (the first language of a quarter of the Filipinos’ population) so I decided the book must be worth reading. Aside from the childish repetitions in the writing, perhaps the downside to the novel is its length. You could make an argument that her characters are very similar, but each of her stories is unique and her tropes are altered more than changing beep to floods.

No, it's more of a story about growing up and realizing that just because your parents aren't perfect, doesn't mean they don't love you. Supporting characters such as Ry are flat and two-dimensional, and the danger to Isis is not compelling enough to catch readers up. It’s been a long time since I’d felt compelled to finish a book in one sitting so that alone is enough to make me grateful for this reading experience. Ry quickly becomes the focus of all of her thoughts but since she feels that nothing is permanent, why should she ever fall in love?

That is why I cannot find myself detesting her completely, because really, is any teenaged girl ever so perfect? Really, all of that, the information about the mythology in Isadora's voice which always turned a little funny at the and and the mysterious dreams I loved so much.
