Publisher's summary
"The most powerful force in the universe falls out of the sky and into the hands of a magicless thirteen-year-old girl."
Lisa Robbie, a freckled, soon-to-be-eighth-grade girl from Keyport, New Jersey, happens upon a shooting star that isn’t merely space debris but is magic—the Agapéd Magic. This leads her to a whole new way of life where she learns she has the most powerful magic in all four galaxies, a power that the Guardians have waited 120 years for... and they are not too thrilled about it.
The only person who sees her worthy enough to wield this magic is the 700-year-old brutish Wishing Star gardener, Gaius. Still, even he won't tell her the Agapéd’s true purpose—the purpose for Lisa’s life. Curiosity takes Lisa’s new life down a path of nightmares as the Agapéd Magic begins to take a toll on her heart, and she must decide if this new way of life is worth all the pain and sorrow tagged along with it.
The Agapéd Bearer: Wishing Stars begins the epic light-versus-darkness saga, a fantasy adventure perfect for those who enjoy constant tugging at their heartstrings and plenty of magical encounters.

He doesn't want to destroy the world. Problem is, he's an Apocalypse. Zeke and his friends are enjoying the city when suddenly, the apocalypse begins. Which one? ALL OF THEM. Lucky (or unlucky) enough to be chosen as an apocalypse himself, Zeke sets off to [Devour] his way to the top! It wouldn't be so bad, but his best friend's out to kill him, that rock has a gun, and everything, literally everything, has gone to hell. Zeke just came out here to have a good time, and honestly, he's feeling so attacked right now.

Talented in magic, the young elven woman Ruethwyn didn't fit in in her hometown but was scheduled to attend the most renowned academy of magic in the kingdom and was even building up the courage to confess her love in the hope it might be returned. That all ended in a dragon's fire. Resvarygrath the Gilded destroyed Ruethwyn's village, killed her parents and teacher, and stole away the young women of the village. Maimed by the dragon's flames, Ruethwyn was spared by a curious dark elf who gave her a chance; she had two years to rescue her beloved or risk losing her forever.

It is the year 896 during the Age of Magic and young Liam found himself searching for his purpose. His world forever changed when his family all tragically died within months of one another. As the world around him grew cold, the only warmth he found was in remembering the stories of the legendary warrior his father fought alongside. As a child, young Liam dreamt of fighting next to such warriors, and with nothing left to lose, he departed his home on a quest to become just that. The only thing he did not realize was just how much carnage awaited him.

Wayne dreamed of piloting a thirty-foot-tall walking robot that was closer to a battle-tank than anything else. They were called Walkers. They were armed with laser cannons, rockets, missiles, and heavy kinetic weapons more similar to artillery pieces than guns, and everything that went with that. Unfortunately, he had been declined military service. His only avenue left to become a Walker Pilot was to make it happen all on his own. Under his own power. With his own hands. Literally. Working his fingers to the bone, saving all he could, and digging through junkyards and salvage pits,

Adorable start to a series!
This story has to be the most perfectly summarized book out there. It is literally exactly as described and if the summary captures your attention I say go for it. Emily Turtle did an excellent job narrating this massive story. And the narrator for Gaius was so perfect. There are some notes on the story itself but I believe this is a debut author so I'm sure with time any problems will be ironed out. Sentence flow could be awkward and redundantly wordy. But writing is an endless process of learning what works and doesn't. A little editing could have tightened it up. The story picked up for me in part 2. Lisa has the adorable innocence of a studio ghibli character. Felt like an issekai in the best possible way.
Oh my god the cover art is absolutely beautiful. I'm in love with the style!!! Can't wait to continue the series and see how this author and story grows.

my new favorite series
this book is INCREDIBLE. voice acting is spot on. and so realistic and raw. they cry and the characters cry they are in pain when the characters are. the performance is So good! and the book? the plot is epic. high stakes, high fantasy magical worlds! it's beautiful. the relationship are so real and genuine and believable. I loved seeing the mother daughter relationship and the mentor mentee relationship with Lisa and guias grow into something more familial. and the friendships? it explores how some people only tolerate you but that real friendship can be found with the right people. athen there is the grief. there is lasting effects of the terrible and terrifying things that happen to Lisa, as it should be, the way the author has her process her grief with you is so real and raw and beautiful.
literally my new favorite book/series. I can't wait to lead more!

a good time TM
I’ve been wanting to read TAB forever after seeing Hannah’s gorgeous art, but the book was so long I kept procrastinating- so I decided to try the audiobook. This livened up many many commutes to and from college. I really enjoyed the story, and I ADORE the world and vibes. There were times I was mildly annoyed by Lisa’s inner monologue or just felt it wasn’t realistic but uhhh that’s mostly a me problem, I have this bad habit of nitpicking. I almost cried multiple times while driving so yeeeeeah the story do be pulling on the emotions. I laughed at Gaius during his chapter (so I wouldn’t cry 😀). I already bought the audiobook for Paragon Games and I’m super excited for it!!

Perfect voice for MC
Review by Erika::
This story was beautiful! I was whisked away into a magical world and got to watch Lisa learn about her magic with Gaius, Inna, Cal and so many others it felt like I was there! The narrator Hannah found for Lisa was perfect for her! While there were a few moments where sentences were repeated or the pitch changed slightly, I didn’t really mind. She did a really lovely job portraying Lisa’s emotions, wonderment, and thoughts. Her other voices were amazing too! I really love how she voiced Kamari.
Anyway. I loved listening to this story and can’t wait to start the next book! Hannah has done such a beautiful job! I laughed and cheered and worried and even shed a tear or two, which is very rare for me! Can’t wait to see what’s in the next journey!

A fun emotional ride
a good start to what I'm sure will be an amazing series, rich lore, interesting characters and some heart breaking scenes, the author thrives when it comes to writing characters and they're emotions, both narrators did a solid job

This was the perfect voice for Lisa!!!!! I adore the accents and the attention to detail with the dialogue. And my gosh, I got teary. Sebastian did Gaius’ chapter, and can I just say I was sobbing from the emotion🥲 They brought Lindsey’s story to life!

meh...
The narrator was fine. The writing of this book itself needs tightened up. Alot. It has the promise to be glorious. But, the redundancy and over indulgent Tolkien-esque descriptors kinda kill it.
