Published copy read and reviewed-borrowed from Library.
The art in the first few pages were a bit jarring for me. It was hard to decipher what is going on in the world but that quickly corrected itself a few pages after that.
Anya has been assigned to take over the care of the Moon Moths, the most important task in all the village. The moths keep the tree and it's Night Lily alive and in turn keeps the village alive. It's a lonely task and is hard on the caretaker.
The art is actually really pretty and the story was full of emotion and longing. There are actually several threads in the story and it was interesting to see how they all intertwined. It was all very beautiful and would absolutely recommend that you pick it up.
The Night Lily blooms once a year. But only if the lunar moths are alive. To protect them and keep them alive, there is a Moth Keeper.
Anya wants to be the next Moth Keeper. It's such an important job. Her people wouldn't survive without the lunar moths. She just hopes she can live up to the responsibility.
This is such a good story! I loved the magic and the artwork.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an e-arc.
