Resumen del Editor

In this “slow-burning, atmospheric romance” (Publishers Weekly) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Live the Pumpkin Queen, an illness cursing the land forces a teen girl astronomer to venture across the wilderness in search of the stars’ message that will, hopefully, save them all.

When all is lost, look to the stars.

Vega has lived in the valley her whole life—forbidden by her mother to leave the safety of its borders because of the unknown threats waiting for her in the wilds beyond. But when Vega sees an omen in the sky—one she cannot ignore—she is forced to leave the protective boundaries of the valley for the first time. Yet the outside world is much more terrifying than Vega could have ever imagined. People are gravely sick—they lose their eyesight and their hearing, just before they lose their lives.

But Vega has a secret: she is the Last Astronomer—a title carried from generation to generation—and she is the only one who understands the knowledge of the stars. Knowledge that could hold the key to a cure. So when locals spot the tattoo on Vega’s neck in the shape of a constellation—the mark of an astronomer—chaos erupts. Fearing for her life, Vega is rescued by a girl named Cricket who leads her to Noah, a boy marked by his own mysterious tattoos.

On the run from the men hunting her, Vega sets out across the plains with Cricket and Noah, in search of a fabled cure kept secret by the astronomers. But as the line between friends and protectors begins to blur, Vega must decide whether to safeguard the sacred knowledge of the astronomers…or if she will risk everything to try to save them all.

It was just ok

I feel like it was kind of slow with the plot. The romance, and it isn’t the best it feels forced. I didn’t like the characters however in some ways it was still good so I can give it a three stars.

Not sure this was my jam

I was not sure what to expect with this book but was hopeful. stars and traversing the lands and what not. Yet it didn't really have the tropescI go for, which is fine but this took a turn I didn't see coming and not in a good way. I am nor sure the characters were as deep as they could have gone and the FMC didn't really grow that much. A tiny splash of "well maybe" at the end wasn't enough to justify me asking was there a point to this? Why are we continuing to do this?

The narrator kind of wasn't doing it for me either.

Finished in 2 days

If I had read this book I would call it a page-turner. I enjoyed the characters and the plot twist.

Loved in the end

Honestly this book started a little too slow but I loved how everything formulated to meet the end result!

Story is not good

This story makes no sense!
no point in the Architect.
performance was good. wtf
