Eyes Like Stars
Eyes Like Stars: Theatre Illuminata, Act I | Lisa Mantchev
All her world's a stage. Bertie Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater. She's not an orphan, but she has no parents. She knows every part, but she has no lines of her own. That is, until now. Enter Stage Right NATE. Dashing pirate. Will do anything to protect Bertie. COBWEB, MOTH, MUSTARD SEED, and PEASEBLOSSOM. Four tiny and incredibly annoying fairies. BERTIE'S sidekicks. ARIEL. Seductive air spirit and Bertie's weakness. The symbol of impending doom. BERTIE. Our heroine. Welcome to the Thtre Illuminata, where the actors of every play ever written can be found behind the curtain. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Thtre by The Bookan ancient and magical tome of scripts. Bertie is not one of them, but they are her familyand she is about to lose them all and the only home she has ever known. Lisa Mantchev has written a debut novel that is dramatic, romantic, and witty, with an irresistible and irreverent cast of characters who are sure to enchant the audience. Open Curtain

3✨ I liked that this was about a theater group of mostly mythical creatures. There is a mystery needing to be solved and a bunch of shenanigans. Overall, not a bad read.

Interesting. This honestly wasn't bad (just a little too much on the cheesy drama side for my current mood). I liked the plot and (having listened along to the audiobook) the narration A LOT! There were parts the reminded me a bit of Daughter of the Burning City. The whole concept of Shakespearean characters escaping the theatre is a pretty unique twist and dilemma so I'll keep book 2 in mind for when I want a cheesy romantic read.

Someone on GoodReads suggested this to me. Im always here for a book messing with Shakespeare...and someone with neon hair

StayCurious It‘s pretty good - and is the first in a series. I haven‘t had a chance to read the others yet but I plan to. 5y
Shley9225 Which Shakespeare is this messing with? 5y
StayCurious It‘s actually got different Shakespearean characters in it. It‘s a really neat concept. They live in the theatre if I remember correctly. (edited) 5y
