Night Shine by Tessa Gratton

4.0

Night Shine is an interesting fantasy story with an immersive setting, dynamic characters, and poignant messages. The world-building is incredible and lush, with a unique caste system and fascinating supernatural beings including witches, demons, goblins, and more. It is a captivating read, one that I was quickly caught up in. I also like the strong messages about being true to yourself, standing up for what you believe in, and fighting for those you love.

The characters are richly developed, especially Nothing, the protagonist. I loved her progression throughout the story. A girl who is usually ignored and invisible, she is the only one who realizes that the prince is not really the prince. She is a sharp, intelligent, and astute person who is vastly underestimated, as she proves time and again on her journey to rescue the prince.

Overall, this is a good read that I recommend to readers that enjoy YA fantasy. Thanks so much to Netgalley for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.
