Nestled deep in the snowy mountains of the Lost Range, the village of Reverie is a small miracle. Beyond the reach of the Sun, Reverie is dependent upon the magic of the mysterious Starmaker: every morning, he trudges across a vast glacier and pulls in sunlight over the peaks, providing the village with the light it needs to survive.

With her newfound abilities tied to the survival of the village, Aurora is swept away to his ice-covered castle and far from everything she's ever known. The Starmaker is as cold and distant as the mountain itself, leaving Aurora to explore his enchanted castle alone.

But a deadly frost approaches and Aurora must uncover what the Starmaker is hiding before she is left in an endless winter that even the Sun cannot touch.

Reviewed by LottiObwohl dieses Buch nicht die Spannung hat was man von einem Fantasybuch vielleicht erwartet und mir etwas an dieser Geschichte gefehlt hat ist es trotzdem eine sehr schöne Geschichte über Liebe, Trauer und Verlust.
Reviewed by indira celinewow! so wunderschön! man fühlt sich wie im Märchen. Ich hab mehrere Kapitel durchgeflennt. Der emotionale Aufbau hat mich total mitgenommen
Reviewed by BellezhoThe book was romantic and sweet. The story between the two main characters was at times very entertaining and very humorous. The storyline itself was also beautiful, about the sun who falls in love with a human and saves his village by making him immortal and giving him part of her power. It’s definitely very cute and partly very sad. If you’re looking for something that feels similar to Disney stories, this book is perfect for you. However, I found some things a bit too vague or not entirely logical. I liked Aurora, but toward the end she became a bit too childish and selfish for me at times.
