The Chaos of Stars

Product Information

However there is a darkness surrounding her family and both Isadora and her mother are having dreams of the darkness destroying their family.

The characters are fun, despite sometimes being surface deep, and the plot is intriguing, though at times I wanted more development, and the history is there, but it might attract some more than others. Yes her parents are gods but she’s a human and when everyone else worships her family but can’t even remember her name or give her much of a passing glance, Isadora is fed up. Isadora's sick of living a life where she's only worthy of a passing glance, and when she's offered the chance to move thousands of miles away, she jumps on it. But Isadora’s quickly finding that a “normal” life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there’s no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. So I was thinking about Persephone's story, and how different it would be if you told it only from the perspective of Hades.When she had that talk with her brother and he told her that although their mom didn’t make them immortal, she prepare them for a happy life on their own. Although, I find that most people who blame their childhood for the reason they can't function as a responsible adult are usually idiots looking for an excuse to behave badly. But although her parents are immortal Egyptian gods, they will let her die instead of keeping her with them forever. For the most part, White focuses on a romance with an impossibly gorgeous Greek boy who is more than he seems to be (think about that for more than two minutes and you will have figured out a twist. She feels as though she's being replaced (sooner than normal), and decides that she's done with her whole wonky family.

Some I liked more than others but I especially loved the dynamic of Isadora's friends; Tyler, Scott and Ry. She can't stand commitment because she can barely deal with facing her own eventual death, let alone losing someone else. 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. But I mean, there's like barely any mention or description of her home from the outside so I'm still thinking it a little.I live in Vienna, Austria and, apart from reading, I enjoy movies, video games, thunderstorms, eternally bickering couples, coffee, and anything made of chocolate.

The Chaos of Stars follows Isadora, the human daughter of the immortal Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris – and her entire family is seriously screwed up.Only some of the secondary characters were fleshed out while the rest were uninteresting, bland and one-dimensional. I’m just getting out of a reading slump – induced by books that were not as advertised and bored me to death – so this quick read about nothing much at all was just what I needed. Isadora grow up into a bitter teen who believes her mother only has children (one every 20 years) because the modern world no longer worships them and lives off her children's worship. Isadora is tired of living with crazy relatives who think she’s only worthy of a passing glance—so when she gets the chance to move to California with her brother, she jumps on it. What we get as world-building is tons and tons of info-dump, which to me does not constitute of world-building.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). After that Isadora vowed to never let anyone into her heart again so she could never be hurt like that by anyone else. I wasn't drawn in by the danger, because it was so sidelined and so briefly brushed over by Isadora's uncaring attitude, and when it finally happened, the climax just fell flat because it was unexpected and nonsensical. Another slightly minor point to me was how I was a little confused in the beginning as to why two gods like Isis and Osiris would have kids that are mortal.

Greek gods for the most part were human figures, Egyptian gods often were a little bit more animalistic in appearance. Disclaimer: I received an ARC from Harper Teen/ Edelweiss this has not affected my opinion of this book. I’m not super familiar with Egyptian gods and goddesses, so I have to admit, I found this book really confusing in the beginning.
