3/5 stars 
 I was very excited to read this book. The cover is beautiful and I was in the mood to read something magical and about witches. I really liked the setting and felt that desire to devour the story... at least for the first fifty pages or so. Then things got long winded, dragged out and really boring. I think the book could have done well at being half the length. There was just so much going on at times and so many flashbacks and memory recalls that it kind of left you confused-- or with me at least it did. 
 Despite the confusion, I really loved Xan and Luna and their little family in the woods, even though I couldn't stand hearing about Luna's magic so much. 
 Yes, she's powerful. 
 Yes, she's untrained. 
 No, I don't need to hear what crazy little thing she's doing or how much magic she has inside of her for the 30th time.Ugh. 
 If anything, all the repetition with Luna in the story made me really love and appreciate chapters with Antain. He was an awesome character that went through several changes and I'm glad how things worked out for him. I needed more of him in this book. 
 Overall it was a decent book with an ending that tied things up well, but lacked in other areas. The characters were cool, I liked the setting and I'm always on board for a good witch. The whole Star Children thing? Love.
