Early ARC Reactions to A Mark Cursed by Stars

I wanted to share a quick update now that A Mark Cursed by Stars has officially reached 20 ARC reviews.

I honestly never thought I’d see 20 reviews at this stage. Every piece of feedback is valuable, and I’m taking all of it on board as I make my final tweaks before uploading the finished version to Amazon.

Here are just a few things readers have been saying:
