Thank you Underlined Books for providing me with an early finished copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Honestly, To Dance the Moon and Stars really exceeded my expectations! Graphic novels are a newer format for me and with the heavy fantasy and mythology elements in this book I wasn’t sure how I’d like it. But I ended up really enjoying it!
To start off, the artwork was STUNNING. Like genuinely so beautiful, I’m totally obsessed. I’ll read any graphic novel by this illustrator/author in the future because the art was that good. It was super magical and I just felt totally immersed in such a unique and whimsical story.
I really enjoyed the plot as well. I thought it was really interesting and unlike anything I had read before. I really enjoyed the mythology and fantasy elements that I had previously mentioned. I do think a graphic novel caused the worldbuilding and story to be a bit rushed, I’d love to see something like this in a proper novel format! However, I also feel like it wouldn’t have felt as magical as it was without the art. I’m definitely looking forward to finding some more fantasy type graphic novels in the future!
The characters were pretty well developed for a graphic novel! I honestly really loved the characters and their relationships with each other. I loved the romance plot that followed Eyden and Myra! I also liked that the author created parallels between their story and the Goddess and God’s love story.
The only part of this book that kind of lost me was the writing style. I felt like it was a bit too modern at times for the era and style of the book. I also just felt like it lacked depth at times. That might be common in graphic novels (I’ve not read too many so I’m not sure) but for a storyline and romance like this one, I would’ve liked to see the writing match a bit more.
Overall, I’m really happy I took a chance on this book! I really did enjoy it and it was such a fun and unique read! As well as a quick one too! I’ll definitely be looking for more books like this and by this illustrator/authors in the future!

Thank you Underlined Books for sending me a finished paperback copy of this book for me to read and review!
As someone who grew up with the Tinkerbell movies and absolutely loved them, (and still love them) I had a LOT of expectations for this book. Wings of Starlight truly exceeded all of those expectations and then some.
This was my second ever book written by Allison Saft and her writing style continues to be a favorite of mine. It’s so beautiful and descriptive and I truly feel immersed into the story because of her writing. She did such an amazing job writing this book! I was obsessed with all the parallels between the book and the movies, and the plot was really engaging while also sticking well with the original content material! Wings of Starlight genuinely felt like it was written prior to the movies to me because of how well she fit it into the original universe.
As I previously mentioned, I loved the plot! The perfect amount of showing us Clarion and Milori’s romantic story while also having a high stakes and decently action-packed plot. I’m so heartbroken over the ending but it brings me comfort to know that they got their happily ever after in the Secret of the Wings movie!!
Overall, this book was genuinely so so perfect! I’m so thankful that the publishers decided to bring this world back to the spotlight. I’m so grateful to Allison Saft, who clearly poured her all into this beautiful book! Truly brought some of my favorite characters and world to life! Can’t wait to read Wings of Reverie soon!
