When I requested The Glow of Fallen Stars I didn't realise that it was the second book in a series by Kate Ling, so I did find myself very confused upon finishing it but I did enjoy the characters so I will be picking up book 1 and rereading this book again soon.

This was so much better than the last book. I was worried that it wouldn't be great after the last one, but after the way the last one ended, I really wanted to give it a chance. I'm really glad I did.

It was still a little slow, but the planet was so amazing. I love a well made world and there was so much beautiful imagery in this book that was truly wonderful to read. I want to visit this planet and see all the sights, though I think it would probably be a bit dangerous to live on.

The stuff with the coral life was a really interesting twist in the story. I was very intrigued by what was happening and I kind of wish there had been more of it. I loved the ending though. It felt right and it all tied up neatly, even though I feel that maybe there should have been a bit more of a fight to change everything.

I probably wouldn't recommend the whole series even though I did like this book. The first one was just not worth it, though in retrospect, I'm glad that I got the chance to read this one.

This book had an interesting premise, with an interesting plot, but I think the whole thing could have been executed a little better, it was an enjoyable read but has room for improvement

edit: I have now realised this is a series and didn't originally realise, which makes a lot of sense as to why I thought the execution of the story could have been better, so in hind sight this book is probably better than I thought
