About Eira Novane
Eira Novane is an award winning author who writes epic fantasy romance where love is both the sword and the scar. Her stories are woven with ancient magic, fractured oaths, and soul-deep bonds that defy gods, fate, and the cruelties of time. With prose that leans lyrical and emotionally resonant, she crafts sweeping narratives where the heart is always the battlefield, and every victory comes at a cost.
Eira’s heroines are fierce and haunted, her heroes unrelentingly loyal or beautifully doomed, and her worlds brim with myth, ruins, and quiet rebellion. Her work is for readers who crave slow-burn intimacy, world-shaking stakes, and the ache of a love that was never meant to survive, but might anyway.
When not writing, she’s playing some story driven RPG, spending quality time with her many animals, or quietly imagining another broken kingdom that needs mending.
My Thoughts
Eira Novane’s Ash of the Fallen Star is an ambitious, gorgeously written epic that blends metaphysical exploration with deep emotional resonance. This isn’t your standard, fast-paced action fantasy; instead, it is a story that pulses with spiritual depth and lyrical prose. It centers on characters who grapple with memory, identity, and transformation in a realm shaped as much by thought as by stone.
The writing is undeniably beautiful, utilizing vivid imagery and dream-like metaphors that will enchant readers who crave a more literary style. Because the prose is so rich, the sheer density of the philosophical introspection requires a patient reader. It is a story that demands you slow down to fully absorb the weight of its divine revelations and complex lore.
At the heart of the narrative are Caelin Wenriel, a historical preservationist haunted by dark dreams, and Lucan, an undead being tied to her forgotten past. Their connection is handled with immense tenderness, evolving from a mysterious spiritual pull into a complex, soul-deep bond marked by fate and longing. The slow reveal of their shared history keeps the emotional stakes high throughout the journey.
As Caelin seeks to reclaim her identity, she inadvertently draws the attention of ancient enemies, setting a stage where the restoration of balance rests on her shattered memories. The magic system—vividly realized through glowing glyphs and soulmarks—adds a tactile, mystical layer to the experience. I found myself hooked by the creative use of magic and the "goosebumps" moments it provided.
The experience is further elevated by Jeannie Sheneman’s narration, which captures the intensity of the lore and the shifting emotional landscape perfectly. While the pacing occasionally slows to make room for the worldbuilding, the final chapters offer a luminous payoff. The story shifts toward a tone of warmth and healing that feels like light breaking through a long storm.
If you enjoy fantasy defined by soulmates, forgotten past lives, and a romance that simmers with divine drama, this sweeping saga is a deeply satisfying read. It is a soulful and poetic experience that ultimately rewards the reader with a massive emotional payoff that absolutely wrecked me in the best way possible.
