The cover is absolutely stunning and if you loved making your own fairy on the Disney website this will be right up your alley. This book was whimsical and a bit bittersweet. The pacing at times felt slow but felt like Saft was focused on building the world and atmosphere. I've loved Allison's book since A Far Wilder Magic, can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Allison Saft’s writing is lyrical and immersive. The tension between duty and desire is masterfully portrayed, leaving me breathless with anticipation for what comes next. The stakes are high, but it’s the emotional resonance of their journey that truly stands out. Wings of Starlight beautifully explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace one’s true feelings, making it a heartfelt and unforgettable read. If you’re looking for a story that captures the magic of romance and the power of connection, this book is a must-read.

This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I have always been curious about the main characters’ love story and ate it up at every page. I’m a sucker for a forbidden romance and Allison Saft did it so perfectly. I cried, I laughed, and I swooned. There isn’t much else I can say without spoiling the story, but I highly recommend this read if you are a fan of Tinker Bell or fairies in general!

This book had a lot of adjectives but not a lot of plot. It was painfully slow-moving, largely because the author wanted to describe every single thing in the environment and tell the reader every thought Clarion had. I had to keep stopping and putting it down.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

Another instant favorite from Allison Saft! Gorgeous prose and use of imagery! I loved the subtle call backs and easter eggs for Secret of the Wings! This was a perfect setup and backstory for these characters, and I LOVED the insight into Queen Clarions actions and point of view. Her journey and emotions felt very realistic and resonated with me <3

This was a nice quick, nostalgic read. I always loved Tinker Bell and Pixie Hollow as a kid so it was so much fun to jump back into the world as an adult.

I'm not the biggest fan of the author's other works due to the writing style. This one was a little easier to digest which made it more enjoyable.

Overall, this is a solid read for fans of Pixie Hollow or the author.

Rated 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC ebook.

I went into this book knowing nothing of the Pixie Hollow universe and mainly motivated by the fact that it was written by Allison Saft, one of my favorite authors. Having no previous knowledge, I didn't feel lost or confused as Saft easily immerses the reader in the world from the beginning. The story is light and fun throughout, but overall I miss the dark yearning themes that are often present in Saft's work. Without this the whole thing felt a bit bland and juvenile, which I suppose makes sense for a Disney book.

The Pixie Hollow books had a chokehold on my heart during my childhood. I still look back on them and wish I could find something that holds that same wonder and magic. Reading this felt just like going back. I loved how lyrical it was!
