Starfall by R. M. Anderson

 *I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.




Title: Starfall

Author: R. M. Anderson

Series: Book one in the Starfall Chronicles

Published: July 10th, 2018

Genre: Fantasy



[My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 Stars]




  Synopsis:  Radianne Timblebrooke has grown bored with life as she knows it and aches for something more: Adventure, a path of her own, and... maybe... even true love?

On one fateful evening, a blinding light falls into her world and changes it all, bringing the adventure she longed for and much more.

In a race against time to the stars, Radianne discovers beauty, love, strength, and a force that threatens to cover her world in shadows. Little does she know that adventure comes at a cost... a cost that will bring her to the brink of losing everything.






  Holy Macoroni- the world was so amazing. If you want a fantasy and adventure- this book is what you want. Giant ladybugs, dangerous terrains that were so unique, and characters that infuriated each other but also grew because of each other! Like a mix of Gregor the Overlandor by Suzanne Collins and The Watcher of the Night Sky by Rachel Pudsey.


The Writing was beautiful and creative, the first chapter was so wonderfully worded and poetic it hit me like a ton of bricks (don't ask me why, but apparently I'm a sucker for beautifully worded things). It almost felt like I was reading a poem or short story in the first chapter- that would set up the rest of the story. And that's exactly what it was.


The Characters, oh buddy, the characters.
  So I really wanted to like Radianne at first (and through most of the book) but it was hard the first part of the book. She was a naive thing that just wanted to have an adventure and got mad at someone that wanted to help her because she felt he was taking away her adventure.
 But! That did change and I was so happy with her character development, as well as all the others' growth. Like I said, the characters all infuriated each other- but they also helped each other grow.

Blink however, will always be a perfect cinnamon roll to me :)



Bottom Line: A book that is definitely worth giving a try.


You can check out the book here.




Thanks for reading, Have a lovely day!! <3<3<3

  2. Oooo, I really like that cover! I also love it when characters don't get along at first (okay I do hate them) but eventually get along and change for the better. I hope the second book to Starfall will be a much better experience for you when you get the chance to read it. ^_^

Books with Noel's BLOGVERSARY!!

Bonjour mes amis! [Hello my friends!] It's officially Books with Noel 's Blogversary!!! Quick Note: I'm sorry if any of these seems rushed, I injured my wrist at work and now have to wear a brace on my right side (I'm right-handed). When I first started blogging, it was a rash and implusive decision (and no, I ususally don't have those). I had already been trying to do BookTube for a while, and it was rough- I'll admit it. But more on that later! I started Books with Noel to try to communicate my passion and thoughts on books the only way I know best- through writing. (Don't ask why I'm still on YouTube then, sometimes I don't even know myself.) As soon as I did my first two blog posts on here, I was introduced to some very kind book bloggers and I found the best book community I've ever seen! Everyone is so nice, even when disagreeing about a book! I'm now able to support other bloggers and unknown authors through my blo...

The Month of February and Trying New Things | A Monthly Wrap-Up + A TBR

    Eek, is it bad that I'm relieved Valentine's Day and the ''Love Month'' is over? I just read contemporaries, watched chick flicks, and ate ice cream to celebrate the holiday...it was great! How about you guys? How was your Valentine's Day? How's The YouTube Channel Going?? As some of you know, I also am a small BookTuber who shares my videos only in the monthly wrap-ups. And yes, they are as random as my blog posts 😂.  Though I try to keep their content different, so one book review that will be on my blog may not be on my YouTube channel (unless I feel very strongly about the book or am reviewing it for someone). So here are the videos from February!! ChickFlicks & Contemporaries | MY FEBRUARY TBR TOP TEN ANIME COUPLES | FT. CAMMIE Eliza And Her Monsters | BOOK RANT TRY A CHAPTER ~ Round 1 Since the theme for this month is Trying New Things , I'm planning to start doing anime related videos on my YouTube. Spec...
