Elizabeth C. Bunce

In a kingdom dominated by religious intolerance, sixteen-year-old Digger, a street thief, has always avoided attention, but when she learns that her friends are plotting against the throne she must decide whether to join them or turn them in.

Digger understands what it means to be a spy and a thief in Gerse; what she isn't prepared for is a job gone wrong leading her across the country to a comfortable position as a lady's maid, smack in the middle of a magical rebellion.
Bunce has created a sweet but tough new character in Digger, the protagonist of Starcrossed. She is sneaky, conniving, selfless and loyal in the midst of chaos that will change her life.

What I Liked: Digger is a great personality to front this tale - she's spunky without being crass and vulnerable without being weak. Her supporting cast are just as well written; a necessity for a story or rebellion. Merista is a stubborn, good hearted sweetheart and Lord Daul is the perfect devious villain.
The plot is engaging, it keeps you coming back as you try, with Digger, to figure out what evil is approaching the Nemair stronghold and which side you want to be on when it arrives.

I loved this book. I don't think I can be objective when talking about it - it's been a while since I read a straight up fantasy novel, and this was a welcome change of pace. I love the world that has been created, and am really looking forward to delving into the second book, and catching up with the characters.

Fun fantasy with a great heroine and a great story filled with action and adventure. I had a little bit of a hard time getting into the book, but once the story started picking up I really enjoyed it. For a full review visit Dark Faerie Tales: http://darkfaerietales.com/review-sta...
