Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: The atmosphere was enthralling and the characters were intriguing. If I had one complaint it was that it didn’t really feel like a full story, nearly one small part of a larger epic. Which, now that I say it out loud may have been intentional and thus not actually a flaw at all. Five out of Five.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 279

The Night of the Fairies by Marta Moran Bishop

Goodreads Blurb:Astarte, grew up an orphan and she had no recollection of ever having known her mother. From childhood, she could hear the silver ringing of the music of the fairies as they twirled in the moonlight below the caves. She saw them dancing, the fireflies glittering in and around them, adding a shimmer of gold in the moonlight.

Why could no one else see them? What made Astarte different than the other children of the tribe? Why did discontent fill her soul at the idea of moving and leaving the fairies behind? Why did the idea that she would be required to marry into one of the other tribes when she reached her majority scare her so much?

Goodreads Review: The moment I heard about those growths on her back I knew what the ending was going to be – but I enjoyed getting there anyway.
