    An Intriguing Novel of Science, Superstition, and Stories
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017*

I had the immense pleasure of getting my hands on an advanced copy of this book, (I am not a paid reviewer, however) and I am honored to be able to contribute my review here, and be the first to do so on Amazon! This is my first introduction to Emma Carroll's work, and I gulped this book down in one three-hour sitting. It is an intriguing young-adult novel, full of characters and settings which are at once familiar and yet not, and it has a fascinating premise rife with both science and superstition, much like the early 1800s in which it takes place.Strange Star begins on the stormy night of a rather unorthodox dinner party, thrown by the famous Lord Byron and attended by poet Percy Shelley, author Mary Shelley, and her stepsister Claire Clairmont. After dinner they gather in the parlor. Their charge? To each tell a ghost story that will "terrify the assembled company". Mary has none to add to the proceedings, but in a clap of lightning, a stranger appears on the doorstep with a perfectly terrifying story of her own, one that will change the fates of all in the room.Pros:Carroll's characters are fleshed out very effectively, no small feat considering the balance of real historical people and fictional ones in this book. The time period is well represented, not just in setting and culture but also in the pervading superstitions surrounding the action in the book. There were some truly creepy moments, some truly tragic moments, too. And without spoiling any of the good parts, I will say that I noticed and deeply appreciated all of the author's homages to other literature.Cons:My only complaint, and it is a personal bugbear, is I found myself occasionally wondering if certain things the characters said were true to the time period, certain idioms that struck me as odd and pulled me out of the story a little. Words like "heck", which I'm fairly certain weren't around in 1816, and things like that. But if those things don't bother you, then you will sail through that dialogue without a care, and you should...because generally speaking, the book is a thrill.As a fan of young adult fiction, gothic fiction, thrillers, historical fiction, and literature, this book was nearly perfect for me. And if you are a fan of these things, it should be nearly perfect for you, too. I couldn't put it down, and I will certainly be seeking out Emma Carroll's other works in future.Strange Star is strange, yes...but a story worth reading.

    but I'd heard good things about it so I bought it
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2016*

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but I'd heard good things about it so I bought it. It sat on one of my bookcases for a few weeks but after seeing someone on Twitter say it was great I decided to pick it up. And I'm very glad I did.Emma Carroll has managed to create two stories that fall in together perfectly. The book is so powerful that I read the majority of it in one sitting despite being super tired. All of the characters were super interesting, & I've fallen very much in love with Lizzie & her sister. There were also loads of plot twists & I never really knew what was going to happen next.The book made me smile so much, but also made me sad & angry too. Emma has somehow created a really charming book, that is also chilling & frightening as well, when you really think about what the plot is made up of. I'd love a sequel. I also think the end of this book has decided what book I am going to read next (I believe I have it on Kindle already). Honestly this book was so good, I'm so glad I decided to read it now - it provided me with a brilliant escape during a bad time.
