Review

“The Weight of the Stars is one of the most gentle, gracious, and, overall, kind books that I've read all year ... It's a YA romance about girls and stars and friendship and mercy and loss and regret and what we owe each other and what we give away to lift each other up ... This book is starlight on broken concrete, it's flowers on a broken rooftop, and it's a masterpiece.” ―Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart a Doorway“As bright as it is stellar ... a story with a lush, dark atmosphere; heartbreaking circumstances; bright, new love that blossoms from ugliness; and vividly real, magnetic characters.” ―Booklist (starred review)“Touches on sexual identity, friendship, nontraditional families, and the price of human space exploration. The characters' resilience and vulnerability are deftly handled ... For readers who are drawn to the unconventional, this will be a satisfying read.” ―Kirkus Reviews“Their slow-burn romance ... is sweetly, devastatingly understated.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksPRAISE FOR THE WICKER KING:“Ancrum delves into the blurry space between reality and madness. A haunting and provocative read that will keep teens riveted.” ―School Library Journal“Teen fans of moody psychological horror will be entranced.” ―Booklist “Give this to readers who like complex, experimental fictions about intense relationships that acquire mythic resonance.” ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books“An eerie piece of realistic fiction whose characters revel in intense emotions.” ―Kirkus Reviews“An eerie and mesmerizing thriller that questions the space where reality and perception overlap, The Wicker King is a spine-tingling read that will have you riveted.” ―Caleb Roerhrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit

THIS BOOK IS BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL AND MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR. I just want to wax poetic about this book all day. I didn't think anything could top The Wicker King, but WOAH, WAS I WRONG. The two are very different books when it comes to the tone because the characters are different, but there's still a sense of heartache and the longing for friendship between all the characters that makes these stories so beautifully unique to the author.This book takes place years after the events of The Wicker King, and while it's not a sequel, it could possibly be classified as a companion novel because the setting and characters do overlap in the most marvelous way. The Weight of the Stars takes place in the near future, where space travel to the outer reaches of the universe is a possibility. This is a wonderfully woven tale that's a f/f YA where two girls slowly start to fall in love when they realize they share a love for all things space.Trigger warnings for sexual assault and mentions of suicidal ideation.I just want to cry thinking about this book. And it's been over a month since I've read it. I love it SO MUCH. I love the characters and their story and there's so much thought and feeling placed behind everything that happens in this book, and I AM NOT OKAY.Ryann Bird is a butch girl who lives in a trailer park watching over her younger brother (James), and his baby (Charlie). They lost their parents one fateful day and Ryann did what she had to in order to keep their family together. She took care of James and Charlie, and she would sacrifice everything for them.Alexandria is the new girl in town and when a teacher asks Ryann to look after her, Ryann doesn't say no. Ryann's friends are hesitant at first to let a someone new into their group, but they're a bunch of misfits who have found one another and somehow they all work, and they know that Alexandria will too. Alexandria is a bit of an enigma when we first meet her. She's quiet, but with a low thrumming anger ready to lash out at anyone who gets too close.The development between Ryann and Alexandria is a slow burning one. It's something that needs to grow over time and not something that can be rushed. The pacing of this book is fantastic because it makes you feel like you're living with these characters and going through life one step at a time. It reminds you that high school is hard, but there's more to life than school if you just remember that there's more out there - whether on Earth or in the vastness of space.There's so much to love about this book, but one thing that took me by surprise by the polyam rep. At first, I thought it was just cool that that's something in a YA book, but then the pieces started coming together about WHO these characters actually were. And I DIE thinking about it. How are we so blessed to have my faves getting a life with all the happiness they deserve and THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE SOLD IN STORES FOR TEENS?This is such a marvelous thing, and it makes my heart giddy thinking about these three. Ryann's best friend, Ahmed is their son and he is unbelievably precious (as are all the characters in this book) and it both breaks my heart and makes me love him more that he has to be so protective of his parents. He shouldn't have to be the ones to protect his parents from people who want to judge them and their love, but Ahmed has his own way of looking after them.I love Mrs. Marsh. She looks after her students. I didn't think much of her at first, like oh, she's just an adult in a YA book, but I didn't give her enough credit. She knew that Ryann had a knack of taking in people who might not fit in anywhere else, and she knew that Ryann would be good for Alexandria in the long run. I’m also guessing Mrs. Marsh never marked Ryann as absent from her classes either because missing eight weeks seems a bit excessive. But I think all students should have a teacher like Mrs. Marsh who observes and cares so much about her students. She was definitely an unexpected highlight of this book for me and that moment at the end had between Mrs. Marsh and Ryann had me laughing AND crying.The ending is beautiful, even if it is somewhat bittersweet. It's a happy ending for the characters, but I could have read a thousand more pages of the characters doing the most mundane things and would have never wanted their stories to end. I do wonder a little about how Alexandria’s dad handled everything at the end there? We don’t really get any closure with her dad, and I just wonder how he was with everything, because that has to be rough. I cry just thinking about it. I hope he has found his own happiness.I love the characters, I love their friendship, and I love this story with all my heart. It is beautiful and magnificent. There's no sophomore slump here. It's incredible to think that this is only the author's second full-length published novel, and I am here for all the books to come! <3***Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for review***

If you’ve seen my review of The Wicker King by this same author, you already know how much I adore her as both a writer and a human being, so when I was given the opportunity to read and review The Weight of the Stars, I could barely stand myself. She told me this book was a WLW love letter to her queer-lady fans, and I remember thinking, ‘Would it be humanly possible for me to do anything other than love this?’Thankfully, if you hadn’t already guessed, that answer was a big resounding NOPE, because here we are, and I am positively smitten by yet another incredible, poetic, melancholy, queer-as-heck K. Ancrum story. The atmosphere is incredible, the narrative voice stunned me over and over, and the characters are, just as I expected, nothing short of delightful.First and foremost, there’s Ryann Bird, the main character, who I realized within basically half a chapter that I wanted to protect at all costs because how could I not?! She’s this incredible butch girl (which, WOW, can we please see more butch girls in YA?!), she’s tall and strong and powerful, and she seems super rough around the edges but she’s a total puddle of soft, warm goo inside. I could honestly write this entire review and never mention anything besides how much I love Ryann Bird. Also, like, she’s unapologetically kind of violent but only when the situation really deserves it, and I will always live in total support of viciously protective #squadmoms.Of course, there’s also her little found family: James, the younger brother who stopped speaking after a trauma, who has a sweet baby he cherishes and takes such good care of; Ahmed, her best friend, a soft and goofy Sikh teen (whose polyam family made me SCREAM?! more on this in a moment); Shannon, the popular girl who shouldn’t “belong” in their group but somehow perfectly does; Blake, the self-tattooed quiet one; Tomas, the gangly mohawked queer boy who is so cute and reactive and lovely. And, finally, there’s Alexandria, who is so prickly at the beginning that I couldn’t decide if I wanted to slap her or stare at her lovingly (*insert “you’re doing great sweetie” gif here*), because honestly, she has every right to be prickly.Finally, that thing I said I’d come back to? Well, you don’t have to read The Wicker King before this one, but you SHOULD, because a certain very precious and strange and sweet little emo trio shows back up, except a couple of decades have passed and they’re all grown up and married and parenting together and wow, this is the polyam rep my heart has been dying to see. It felt so good to see them all again and I literally screamed into a pillow when I realized we were going to spend time with them on page and just… *wistful sigh* I don’t even know what else to say besides gushing incoherently.Oh, and honestly, the diverse rep in this book? Just wow, K is a queen and I will cherish her forever. Almost everyone in this group is either a person of color or queer or BOTH and it gave me so much life. I love that, while so many other authors are out here still just throwing in a Token Gay™, K’s like, “Nah, let’s just have a Token Cishet™ instead.” What a powerhouse.The closest thing to a “complaint” I had is that there’s a big plot point which I won’t spoil, but it had me glaring at a couple of characters and internally screaming, ‘Why would you do this to me?! To yourselves?! WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!’ But, then I remembered that this was a K. Ancrum book, and I knew I was signing up for some variation of heartbreak when I first opened it, and really, it was all good and beautiful enough to be worth the agony, so like I said: does it even count as a complaint? Nope.
