The Last Fallen Star

 









I am a super fan of Rick Riordan Presents and how it is promoting different cultures, authors, and their stories.  While I may not really be familiar with Korean stories I love that they are highlighted in this book.

Riley has always wanted to be a part of her gifted clan.  But, she was adopted, and she shows no signs of having inherited the needed gifts.  When her adopted sister is initiated into the clan they decide to do a forbidden spell to share Hattie's gift with Riley.  But everything backfires and now her parents may lose their gifts as a result.  So Riley decides to make a deal with the goddess to find the Last Fallen Star to keep it out of the wrong hands.  But things aren't always what they seem - people she thought were evil, people she thought were good - everything she has ever known is challenged.  

Can Riley find the Last Fallen Star and is she willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to save the ones she loves?

I did enjoy this quite a bit and can't wait to add it to the growing collection of stories that honor other cultures.
