Just a stunning fantasy book. Beautiful, interesting characters. Themes of coming of age, what power really is, how control is used for good and very much for ill... Not knowing the plot at all ahead of time really made me appreciate how…

I absolutely loved this book! It’s amazing how different completely different point of views slowly came together to form a whole story, I’ve never read anything written in a style like this. This book will sway you away into a magical…

i read this book for an a-z reading challenge. I thought it did not quite live up to the hype. It was an ok story. I enjoyed the characters, but i found it mediocore.

This was amazing, the storytelling was superb, and how it all came together at the end was the best part. Luna was accidentally feed moonlight, and is magical, but the spell placed on her won't let her know anything about magic, until she…

Mystery and fantasy, characters you will really like and some you will hate. But further on, you try to look into the villains hearts and give them grace.

Beautiful book. It's a fantasy through and through, but has some elements of almost a mystery, the way each character's story weaves into and out of the others. It was written in a very poetic way. I cried like a baby. This is a spoiler-y…

This book was amazing and my daughter was enthralled the whole time. It does take a bit of time to understand the lore and magic but well worth it! An interesting / unique take on common fantasy tropes.

The magic premise sounded interesting. The first premise was a bad witch needed SORRY to feed on. It was created by making the village belive a child had to be left at a specific place in the woods each year, so the entire village could…

This was a wonderful masterpiece! I enjoyed reading every word. Kelly Barnhill writes in quite a unique way. This should go on every 11-12 year olds' shelf!

I didn't get far into the book before I put it down. There were too many characters I really didn't like.

Engrossing, but not too complicated. A beautiful, layered fairy tale. I loved Glerk, who I thought was going to Deus Ex Machina everything, and who in my head kind of looks like a giant salamander/axolotl. Great themes of loss, grief, and…

This book would be great for fantasy and creative readers. Personally I didn't like this book, I felt like it would describe things so much that you didn't know what was going on or what happened to the characters, especially Glerk. Was he…

I was recommended this book by my teacher. And I'm really glad he did. I could not put the book down. It was a very interesting and exciting book. This is a very magical book, and the imagery inside it was just so wonderful. It put the…

This is a children's book that was highly recommended by a friend who helps elementary school children stage plays. I previewed the book one night before giving it to my grandchildren to read. The timing was not good; they had to return it…

hard to understand the first time, much better on the second read!

The magic in this book was so beautifully done. I truly enjoyed the characters and the twists and turns the plot took. It was almost like reading a folklore. I must say that this read more like a teen book than a J book, so I would…

Kelly Barnhill is a truly gifted storyteller. This book reminds me of the fairytales that I read when I was a child and inspired me to become a writer. Much like the forest in the story, this book is filled with twists and turns. Of long…
