Emily Barnett has written a story that draws you into a beautiful alien world of moonscapes and darknights, a world with no sun and no sickness. It’s a world alive with ingenuity and commonality of people working hard to survive without their sun, to hold off a darkness that is trying to consume, trying to infect, trying to feed its insatiable appetite. Woven into that world is a story of an alien-girl that is oh so relatable who wins the heart of a boy in another part of the galaxy. Are they cursed to be almost together? Barnett’s story has so much more depth than just a sweet love story. It’s so much more than coming of age. It’s so much more than finding truth hidden behind lies. This is a story of facing ones fears and finding you are so much more than you ever imagined. This is a story of an unlikely few saving a civilization.
