I thought I could begin this review the way the author began this book. With Eyes LIke Stars, Lisa Mantchev has written a debut novel that is dramatic, romantic, and witty, with an irresistible and irreverent cast of characters who are sure to enchant the audience. The course of true love never did run smooth. Nate, a dashing pirate who will do anything to protect Bertie, and Ariel, a seductive air spirit. But first, there’s the small problem of two handsome men, both vying for her attention. It’s the only home Bertie has ever known, and she has to find a way to save it. And she is about to lose them all because The Book has been threatened, and along with it the Théâtre. Bertie is not one of the actors, but they are her family. The actors are bound to the Théâtre by The Book, an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the characters of every play ever written can be found behind the curtain. The fantastic first novel in Lisa Mantchev’s Theatre Illuminata trilogy The characters, the plot, the setting… nothing.įirst line: The fairies flew suspended on wires despite their tendency to get tangled together. The more I think about it, the more I can put into words what’s wrong with it but while I read it, I just noticed that I didn’t care about anything in it. There are books you love and books you hate, and then there are books that are so mediocre, that offer so little to either rant or rave about that you just… nothing them.
