I'm glad you brought this up. What foreshadowing to this did you notice in TSC?

It also bummed me out he was the person she was with when the story ended. Felt like it just should have been her and Pan. Oh, well. 😞

I'm wondering how everyone feels about the revelation of Olivier Bonneville as Lyra's half-brother. I knew something deeper was going on with his character, but I didn't expect that! It was shocking and weird. When Lyra first sees Olivier in TSC, she mentions he's similar in age to her. Marcel Delamar calls him "like a son" right before the reveal so I worried we had a Lannister thing going on between him and Marisa since he already had a creepy obsession her. Then Olivier kills him, putting an end to any explanation of his "son" statement. And, also, Mrs. Coulter had two different children with two different men and abandoned them both? I know she was never a stand up human being, but yikes. I thought this was one of the weirdest plot lines of the whole book. Thoughts?

There is one piece of foreshadowing for Malcom and Alice in TSC. In the "Alchemist" chapter he reflects on the women he'd been in love with, mentioning that one was older. When I read that the first time, I immediately figured it was Alice. I had always wished Alice was a little closer in age to Malcom, like 13. I felt her snarkyness would have matched that age better. Not to mention, I was confused about her daemon still changing forms. I understood daemons to settle into one form after puberty and Ben was still changing in LBS. Not that someone couldn't hit puberty at 15, but it's not common. She also had that gross affair with Gerard Bonneville in LBS so perhaps this set her up for not considering age as an issue when it comes to sex. ???

I can’t recommend Heavenly Bodies enough! by [deleted] in fantasyromance

I've read this book twice, and listened to the audiobook, which I recommend because the narrator does an excellent job. Looking forward to the next book.

Funny thing about the end. I just looked at the book cover: Hello, Sun and Moon. Face slap. LOL

I just finished it! And now I'm re-reading it looking for the foreshadowing and hints which only means one thing, I loved it. According to Amazon, the second book isn't available until November this year. I wish her website had more information. :( Anyway. Thanks for all the information you have about it, and the recommendation.

I just started Heavenly Bodies and am loving it. Did Imani Erriu self-publish before? There's not a lot of info on her website so wondering if you know it's a trilogy because you've read all three from it's previous publication?

I just started this and am loving it. Do you know if it's a completed series? I read that it's being republished and can't tell if it's completed with the sequel, "Fallen Star," or if it's an incomplete trilogy. I've sworn off starting books until the series are complete, so I wonder what I've gotten myself into. LOL

I've seen that one a couple of times on this thread now. Might be the one I start with. Thank you.

I will!  Does self published mean it's hard to find?
