I really enjoyed The Tide and the Stars. Dylan Roche created a world I would love to come back to. He did a great job of weaving in elements of self-esteem into a world of adventure. I also d the idea that we create our own destiny. Yes our stories may be written in the stars, but the tides are always changing, and so does our stories. I think this would be the perfect story for a young teen just entering high school and having to navigate these same experiences while also being in fantasy and adventure.

This books was written pretty decently. It gives found family vibes and tackles issues that young adults can have when coming of age. I feel the tone of the characters were too juvenile for their age though and it caused lagging interest. This would be more suited to younger readers.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.1 Lisa Tristram134

I was really looking to read this. The blur was amazing ....I think I got to about halfway through, and then I started to get bored... there were things written that didn't really make sense, and it kept jumping around.

It came across as a YA book, then felt it dropped down to a child's book. It seemed to be promoting several issues anxiety and self-confidence, which is fantastic, but then it seems to keep bringing these issues up every two minutes. There was also an attempt at girl power and then resulted back to the whining girl needs a man to save her....both becoming annoying.

At times, characters involved from the beginning seemed to be forgotten about and then just jumped back into the story again.....

This could have been such a great book, but didn't really hot the spot for me Paul Duff4 1 follower

Written with great enthusiasm and love of storytelling, “The Tide & The Stars” is a fun ride.

I kept hearing Sondheim’s “Into the Woods” in my head as the story unfolded. Fans of T. Kingfisher and J. A. Zarifian will ly enjoy the fairy tale vibe of this adventure.

Solidly a middle grade read, might be great for young readers/writers who are interested in learning how to structure a story. The bones of this story may be too apparent for older readers, though I still found myself getting swept away from time to time despite being way older than the target demographic!

Thank you to Indigo River Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. Annie Sauder60 2

This is a sweet adventure story in which the question is asked if fate is in our own hands or written in the stars. It's a big theme in a young voice that isn't shy about reiteration, and the story itself is well-balanced between an earnest plot and it's self-aware tropiness. It reads a nostalgic fairytale and has the vivid side characters of an 80s Henson film. It's a delightful (and almost... cozy?) fantasy read! E.M. McConnellAuthor 26 books97
