Summary
Kamir is on the verge of losing everything. Knowing full well he can't meet the ultimatum his parents have issued, he instead finally puts in motion his plans to live completely independent of them. His plans are interrupted, however, by the unexpected return of his despised ex-husband - and thrown even further into upheaval when he ends up comforting the man he's secretly loved for years.
Jader may not know where he comes from, but he knows where he belongs and what he wants - until he helps rescue some stranded Bentan travelers, one of whom looks almost exactly like Jader, throwing his life and everything he thought he knew into tumult. Scared and overwhelmed, Jader flees - and lands unexpectedly in the arms of a man he's always seen, but never really noticed.

Can't recommend enough, I love this book!
I adore this series, and this book in particular. I enjoyed the story and I absolutely love the casual way Megan Derr includes trans characters in a lot of books. All the more the world building in this series that so easily allows for our existence. As a bi trans man who loves fantasy, it means the world to me to see someone like me as the protagonist here (and done very well, in my opinion).
The High King's Golden Tongue and The Pirate of Fathoms Deep are among my most read comfort reads, but The Heart of the Lost Star will have a place in my heart indefinitely ♥️

my favourite of the series
This book is an old favourite, and I've read and listened to it multiple times. Narratively, the first book is probably the strongest, but this one gets me in my feelings most effectively. Kmir is my favourite character of the series, and his backstory and the difficulties he deals with in this book are heartbreaking, but extremely relatable. He's anxious, nervous, a little pessimistic, and not a fighter in the physical sense, but he's also responsible and careful and determined. I keep coming back to the most nuanced portrayal I've read of someone who we'd understand as a trans man, although the setting sees him as more or less just one of the possible varieties of man. I especially appreciate how he is written as sometimes frustrated, tired, tearful and vulnerable, without this getting in the way of his competence.
Megan Derr's prose turns neatly into an audiobook; its unassuming skilled execution is easy to overlook. An excellent choice of reader here too.

2.5 stars
I really struggled to get through this book. There were so many excess details that should have been cut to stop the book from dragging. Details about the house that didn’t lead to anything, what periphery characters did during scenes that didn’t add to the story at all, and so many boring pointless scenes that didn’t add anything at all either. If it was trimmed down to a quarter of the size it could have been a good story. Also, the main characters didn’t spend much time together then were separated for loads of the story, and I just didn’t buy into their relationship at the end. It’s been a while since I heard the first two stories in this series, but I’m sure they were written better.
Just as a side note, the first two books seemed like they were paranormal mpreg type stories set in a fantasy land, whereas this one was much clearer that it’s a world where people decide their labels regardless of their body parts, and there’s nothing paranormal about it. I’d be interested to hear the first two books again to see if that was clearer but I just didn’t realise, or if the author left it vague on purpose. Doesn’t bother me, I just thought it odd as I wouldn’t normally miss stuff like that.
