We enjoyed this childrens adventure book. Admittedly the children enjoyed it more than me but they are more the demographic the book was aimed at. They enjoyed the adventure of the well constructed story and related to the characters.

This was a whimsical fantasy adventure perfect for teen readers. I found myself second guessing all the way through. Extraordinary. Outstanding… absolutely amazing… just wow!… this book is exquisite.

Sisters of Moonlight is the second book in Livesey’s “Sisters of Shadows”-series. I read the first instalment last summer and reading the second book I realised I remembered absolutely nothing from the first book. I found this second book as boring as I did the first, I’m sorry to say. Thought it would pick up, but it just didn’t happen for me.

Absolutely loved it. I loved it more than the first book #SistersOfShadow. The first book got four stars from me but this one gets a five. I thoroughly enjoyed more of the world of shadows. The series is a historical fantasy, adventure series full of magic and mysteries. I very much found the pace of book two perfect for me. There were stories within stories and I loved how Katherine had the start of book two like a tangled plait of hair. A plait that she unravelled as certain characters stories went off in different directions only to be weaved carefully back together towards the end of the book.

It was a total page turner and you were left falling more in love with the character Lily and her selfless pursuits for her wards, her new family. However, her history begins to get even more complicated and for every answered question up spring more. Who is Alf really? Who were her parents? What happened to them? Alice remains a complicated character that still feels very distant and I feel book three is going to help us understand Alice more. There is a continual contrast at play between the characters of Lily and Alice, light and dark, day and night, selfless and selfish. The adventures of Grace and Jem were brilliant, especially the highwayman escapades following the piracy! I can't wait to see how this ends, will everyone be united against a common enemy? Who is the enemy? I can't believe I'm going to have to wait for book 3 - I NEED it now!

Thank you #NetGalley and #OneMoreChapter for this awesome eARC #SistersOfMoonlight

A beautiful small map brings you into the world of "Sisters of Moonlight". The Prologue starts it out strong, my favourite quote is ""The remnants of broken hearts and long-forgotten dreams." I believe I will be needing a physical copy to add to my terrifyingly large collection.

This was absolutely delightful. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The characters were charming and witty. I highly recommend this fun and quick read! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This was a good continuation In the series, though I do feel it was a bit short in comparison to the previous work. The story jumps right back in, quickly enough that I about forgot this was a sequel to a book I’d already read.

But thankfully that was remedied real quick and I loved seeing what happened next in the saga.

So I enjoyed this book but I didn't love it as much as the first one. I feel like some of the side plots in this book were unnecessary and the character development was a bit off. I feel like the author tried to solidify this as YA when the first one read more middle grade. I didn't like some of the story lines with the characters but I still enjoyed the cosy writting style.

In my experience the second book in a series either disappoints or is even better then the first. In case of Sisters of Moonlight it is the latter. I enjoyed spending time again with Alice, Lily and the rest. Some of their actions were frustrating at times, but at the same time understandable. The pace was a lot faster then the first book which i loved and I can't wait to find out wat Hecate's endgame is.

I got this arc in exchange for an honest review.

So the cover and Anne of Green Gables reference in the description drew me in but yeah no.

This ain’t for me.

I really enjoyed this book, I wasn't really sure what to expect but I couldn't put it down it was a compelling read.
It was well written with a engaging and captivating storyline and well developed characters that I think children will love.
It has adventure, lighthouses, witches and gothic style castles - what isn't to love, and I loved it.
