Description As Books Searching (The Starlight Chronicles #0)
There is no surrendering your will without giving up your heart.Long before she took up the title of Starry Knight, Raiya Cole knew she was different. Ever since she survived the car crash that killed her parents, the truth about her supernatural powers—and her destiny as a fallen Star—shaped her life, preparing her for a battle she knew would come one day. With the help of Grandpa Odd, her beloved mentor, Raiya works to maintain control over her power and train as a Starlight Warrior. But the battle she prepared for is not the first one she must face. As her seventh grade year begins, Raiya’s resolve is put to the test when her power unexpectedly—and exponentially—grows, threatening the fragile life she has managed to build over the last six years. Can Raiya embrace a duty that demands not only her life, but her heart as well? Can she survive paying the price that comes with her power? Searching is the prequel to The Starlight Chronicles, an epic fantasy adventure series from C. S. Johnson.
FROM THE BOOK:
I was very young when I first learned the power of a broken heart.
Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, it was not my own heart that taught me this truth. My heart, after all, was already broken.
And that’s why I’m here, I thought wryly, glancing up from the all- too-familiar patient room floor at Apollo City Hospital.
Between the tarnished sense of sterility, its ash-colored tiles, and the dulled-white walls, I almost felt at home. In the last six years, I’d come here at least once every couple of months. Between all my visits, I had counted the cabinets along the wall countless times, even if I always forgot how many there actually were in the end.
That wasn’t the only thing I’d forgotten, either. I frowned at the sudden, overwhelming scent of iodine.
How long have I been sitting here, to have forgotten that?
I hated that smell. It wasn’t just unpleasant in itself; it also brought up a wide array of unpleasant memories.
“What is it, Raiya?”
Despite my discomfort, a small, reassuring smile was already on my lips as I looked over at my grandfather. Through the loose tresses of my coppery hair, I saw him watching me with a concerned look on his face.
My grandpa was a thin man, with a bushy, white beard and kind, ageless eyes. Every day since I’d finished elementary school, it seemed as though he was getting shorter as I was getting taller. As I gazed at him, taking in his plain clothes and his oversized coat, I thought how easy it would be for the average person to dismiss him, to see him as harmless and old, barely indistinguishable from any man walking in the street.
Grandpa would never be that to me. No—to me, he was my hero.

It was nice the read through the mind of the other protagonist. It was great to actually read more than snippets of her life.I absolutely loved the Starlight Chronicles. I devoured the entire series and was so excited to learn there was going to be a prequel. This is a wonderful look at the world of Hamilton, only as voiced by Raiya. I truly loved this story and was so disappointed when it was over. I feel like Hamilton and all his friends (and enemies) are a part of my world, and never wanted these books to end. I find these characters intriguing and fun to watch as they develop.
This was an amazing book. I can't wait to read the rest of this series. 5 stars!
I love all the twist and turns in this book and I love the storyline
Thank you to the author for sending me a free copy of this book.DNF at 27% (page 78). I may come back to this in the future because I hate not finishing books but at this point in time, I can't find any connection with the characters or the world. I'm kind of in a slump right now as well as really into a different genre at the moment so these could factor into why I don't like this. I just found it boring and a bit mediocre as well as confusing and odd.This is also written in the perspective of
A huge thank you to BooksGoSocial; via Netgalley, for allowing me to read Searching, by C.S. Johnson in exchange for an honest review.What makes Searching different is that in Searching the main character knows she has to face a battle-she has apparently been prepparing her whole life for it. Another thing that makes this book different is that the main character, Raiya is younger than the usual 15, 16-18 years most YA characters are. Shes actually 13 years old. Which makes this book a middle
Searching, a prequel companion to CS Johnsons Starlight Chronicles Series, introduces readers to the beloved character, Astraiya aka Raiya in an origin story of sorts from her time here on Earth as a fall Star, trying to navigate the social graces of Rosemont Academy. The fantasy element of this story is not immediately revealed to readers. Readers, like myself who have never had the pleasure of reading any of the other starlight books may be duped into thinking that they are reading a
