Review: Night Shine

Night Shine Night Shine by Tessa Gratton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Nothing is an orphan who also lives in the palace.  No one pays any attention to her except the Great Demon and the prince.  Prince Kirin is her best friend and heir to the throne.  After Kirin is kidnapped, Nothing believes that Kirin was taken by the Sorceress Who Eats Girls.  The prince’s bodyguard also believes this, even though the sorceress has never bothered boys before.  During this rescue operation, what will Nothing and the bodyguard have to overcome?  Will they be able to rescue Kirin and keep his secrets?

 

Night Shine is a stand-alone fantasy adventure with an LGBTQ+ twist.  The storyline moves along quickly and since it was a stand-alone, the adventure was compact and complete.  I would have to say that there aren’t many fantasy books with LGBTQ+ characters in them and this story fulfills this overlooked niche without being too pushy.  Overall this was an enjoyable story, but I’m glad it was not a series.
