All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth Duology, 1)
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BELLADONNA SERIES!
“Fierce and unrelenting…Do yourself a favor and get lost in this beautiful book!” —Tomi Adeyemi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Children of Blood and Bone
Set in a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaids seek vengeance with song, and magic is a choice, Adalyn Grace’s All the Stars and Teeth is a thrilling fantasy for fans of Rebecca Ross's Divine Rivals and Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series.
She will reign.
As princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer—the master of souls. The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it’s never been a choice. To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy’s dangerous soul magic.
When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee. She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he’ll help her prove she’s fit to rule, if she’ll help him reclaim his stolen magic.
But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder—and more peril—than Amora anticipated. A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she’ll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stowaway she never expected… or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever.
I am the right choice. The only choice. And I will protect my kingdom.

Amora I hope sets the atrocities right in her new gained kingdom. I hope she doesn't end up hating Bastian for the power he holds over her. It seems like it wasn't his fault - but as it kept being said in the book - he is a pirate.
I was so pissed off about why the magic was separated. All I could think of was 'typical power hungry asshole' while reading that part of the story.
Also, do you ever read stories with arranged marriages? You get so upset that it is being forced on either or both of them that you want to correct it & end up reading fanfiction that fixes it? It seems the author did that for you right in the same book. No fan fiction needed to stop that arranged marriage.
This books was really intriguing from the beginning! The concepts of magic in the world of Visidia are unique and exciting and a bit terrifying. The setting is full of variety, from the bustling city to worn down island village. And the plot drew me in easily. My only complaint is I feel like the ending was a bit rushed.
Amora is a fierce main character, with a magic that can destroy people with a few drops of blood, some bone and fire. I really enjoyed that, even though she was fairly innocent to the world, she embraced it without fear. It was refreshing that as her world views were turned upside down, she didn’t spend the entire book trying to pretend her original truths were the real truths. She accepted that she had been wrong or lied to because she saw the evidence.
Bastion was wonderful. A true pirate with a lot of intense baggage to unpack. Vitea was my favorite! She’s badass and who doesn’t like mermaids! Even Ferrick grew on me by the end.
I really enjoyed this book, with the characters, the plot, the setting, it was just fantastic. And made me want to set sail and become a pirate. I’m really glad I already have the sequel on hand to read because things are set up for another epic adventure.
