Jul 01, 2025Stardust Family is a dense book that explores abuse, societys pressure to fit in whatever the cost, and the complex nature of raising children, all in deep and respectful ways. There are a few minor oversights but overall this is a really excellent, emotional story that feels well thought out by the author, whilst being emotionally satisfying to the reader. Read Full Review

Apr 22, 2026This single-volume story has wonderful pacing and drew me in from the very beginning. It became clear very quickly that there were multiple levels of a mystery to be sorted out and that many things were not as they originally seemed. There is a steady amount of character development for the child inspector and both of the potential parents he is investigating. Horoyama creates a whirlwind of emotions for the characters that had me feeling mixed emotions right up until the twist ending. Read Full Review
