Fae and the Moon review

 Fae and the Moon by Catherine Satrun

Filled with fearsome monsters, fascinating lore, and vibrant illustrations, Fae and the Moon is a much-needed adventure story about overcoming despair through the powers of love and hope.(goodreads summary)
 

 

 

 

 

Night after night Fae sits beneath the moon longing for her Mother.  She has been missing for a while but Fae can feel her presence through it.  Then one night, she decides to take the moon from the sky hoping her Mother will take notice and return to her.  Little does she know taking it has awakened ancient creatures that also want the moon for themselves.  After Fae looses it unexpectedly, she must find all her strength and own powers to regain it back from the monsters and return the world back to normal and save them from the evil forces she has unleashed.  

This is actually the first graphic novel I found that kept my interest throughout the entire story.  It has a good moral about actions, consequences and making right again.  The illustrations are vibrant and have bold colors that matched the fantasy theme of the story.  It has dragons and rats with many twists and turns throughout. Sometimes, I was a bit confused and found myself having to reread sections though.  After reuniting with her mother, the end of the story was left open assuming there will be another book to answer more questions about family.   Middle grade readers who are fans of graphic novels and the fantasy genre will find this fast paced adventure story worth trying.
