Once Fiona gets to perform at The Luminaire and her dance is showcased, it is the beginning of the end. Read to find out what happens to Fiona and how her daughter tries to celebrate her life at the same theater.
I enjoyed the messages of this book: be yourself, look for family and friends that will raise you up, and take care of your inner self. As a fan of historical fiction, this historical fantasy was an entertaining read that makes you think about how we treat others and how we want to be treated. If you are looking for a unique read, this one is for you!

Thank you Black Rose Writing, Kerry Chaput, and Net Galley for a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in advance.
This is a different read from what I usually go for when I pick up a book but the synopsis intrigued me.
This is a story of love and acceptance most of all. Acceptance of one's self (flaws and difficulties) and of others. I liked Eleonora's chapters better. I really like Lady, she wss like a mother to her. And then I liked the friendships she made with the other Star Girls and with Miles, who's a great love interest, and he also has a backstory I didn't see coming.
But I liked that Fiona's chapters were added cause I could see from her POV how things that were mentioned on Eleonora's time actually happened for Fiona.
I liked especially the last chapter because of the acceptance part I was mentioning.
