What can I say - I've just always loved this kind of "teenager-finds-out-that-they're-special-and-saves-the-world" type of books, such as Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Nevermoor, Charlie Bone and so on.
So far I've really enjoyed this series, however, Stellarlune wasn't my favorite one of it.
That's because it felt like everything was going sooo slowly. Who read the books 1-8 already knows that usually, in the first 75% of the book, there isn't happening that much and in the end of it, it gets really exciting and there's a lot going on. So far I didn't mind that, but in Stellarlune many chapters are just about relationships and searching for clues not knowing what to do or where to start.
But I liked Sophie's confidence and new attitude and also chapter 42 (:
I'll read the 10th book once it'll be published anyways. The cliffhanger kinda made me curious again and really caught me off guard. Even the confusion is confused, I have no idea how the story will go on.

I want to start this off by saying that I did enjoy this book. I had a lot of fun reading it!
But it just seems so unnecessarily long. There’s so many scenes and conversations that go on for so many pages and I think a lot them should’ve been trimmed down. There’s no need for relatively unimportant scenes to last 50 pages or more.
Vague spoilers:
Most of this book felt like the characters talking about what they’re going to do than actually doing anything. And I know they’re trying to figure stuff out and that’s not always action-based, but I don’t think that’s a enough good excuse for how little happens in this book.
I didn’t mind it too much honestly, because of how much I enjoyed seeing all the characters again and
Less vague spoiler:
watching them all hang out at Foxfire.
But I can’t ignore that I think this is just a weak book overall.
ACTUAL SPOILER!
I will say that I’ve wanted Sophie and Keefe together for the last six years and it made really happy seeing that!
I also really like that Alden doesn’t show up even once in this entire book, he gets one or two mentions and that’s it! And I hope it stays that way
