The Stars We Steal is, at its finest, a story about regret, fortune reversal, and a quest for independence. While I had no expectations and high hopes, The Stars We Steal is going to be a difficult book review to write. I’ve never read Persuasion, but I’m a huge fan of re-tellings and SF. The Stars We Steal is a book full of expectations, sacrifices, and privilege. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. But old habits die hard, and as Leo navigates the glittering balls of the Valg Season, she finds herself failing for her first love in a game of love, lies, and past regrets. Now, he’s the biggest catch of the season and he seems determined to make Leo’s life miserable. Elliot was the one that got away, the boy Leo’s family deemed to be unsuitable for marriage. Eighteen-year-old Princess Leonie “Leo” Kolburg, heir to a faded European spaceship, only has one thing on her mind: which lucky bachelor can save her family from financial ruin?īut when Leo’s childhood friend and first love Elliot returns as the captain of a successful whiskey ship, everything changes. There’s romance brewing under the stars, literally. Without further ado, today’s book review is The Stars We Steal by Alexa Donne. A loosely based Persuasion set in space, The Stars We Steal is like The Bachelor set in space. If you tell me, “It’s X set in a space” that’s a sure way to get my attention.
