A lovely mix of fairy tale and contemporary love story, reminding me of Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus in tone. Loved the fully developed characters and the shifting points of view. A little too much of a fairy tale ending for me though.

So I did enjoy this but I didn't love it. Lots of cool interesting things, some fun connections and overall a good time. I just wasn't as engaged with the romance or the characters as I would like. Part of that might be because of the YA aspect so take that with a grain of salt (since I am an adult and the book technically isn't targeted to me).

I just did not find it to be very captivating. It felt like there was just a lot of building up to the climax, which ended up not being that great. It felt rushed, it wasn’t exciting, and it was overall underwhelming. The story set up a lot of different conflicts and side plots, but none of them really amounted to anything or even mattered by the end of the book. The overall premise was brilliant, though. I just wish it’d been executed better. That being said, all of the characters were very realistic and well-developed. It was not a tedious read, either.
This book has very Romeo & Juliet undertones in terms of the romance, but the plot was more what you would find in a Rick Riordan Presents book.

Quick read but missed the mark a bit for me (funny pun, maybe?)
There were many pov’s, and I think the book would have been so much better if it had been slower with only the pov of Luna and hunter.
Because there is some form of magic, it is often hard to find out what is possible, and that was not really touched upon, another missed shot I guess.

This book tried way too hard so it ended up being confusing and felt flat. I liked how fast-paced it was.
