Tam returns back to a town she once lives, while Nova works at her grandmothers' bookshop; she helps in the store where they loan out speel books and deal with supernatural things that happen in their town. Soon they learn about a demon in the woods. I enjoyed the magic and spells of the town but my favorite part of this book is the characters. I love Novas' grandmothers, they are sweet and care; open-minded and willing to help those who are in need. Nova and Tam are too cute! I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow from childhood friends to where they are now. I also enjoyed Novas' parents not going to say anymore as that could be seen as a spoiler but I enjoyed how they play into the story. The magic in this book is well based, not overpowered while still being the main part of this story. I love the bookshop, the spell books are neat and somehow have their own personalities. And now onto the part, I enjoy this style of art so much. It fits the story very well; I like the colors and the way magic is drawn into this world. Overall, this book put a spell on me, once starting reading I couldn't stop; this magical bookshop pulled me in with these diverse that made me feels so much.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/wonderstruck-kcks.blogspot.com\/feeds\/6200246057577142715\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/wonderstruck-kcks.blogspot.com\/2019\/08\/review-of-mooncakes-story-of-love-and.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7092837810151315197\/posts\/default\/6200246057577142715"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7092837810151315197\/posts\/default\/6200246057577142715"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/wonderstruck-kcks.blogspot.com\/2019\/08\/review-of-mooncakes-story-of-love-and.html","title":"-Review of Mooncakes- A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft.-"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"KayCee_K"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/07678361428987225586"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092837810151315197.post-9002364154370686297"},"published":{"$t":"2019-02-14T06:30:00.000-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2019-02-14T06:30:13.779-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"NetGalley Review"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Poetry"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Review"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"-  Love Looks Pretty on You - Poetry Review - It's a delight, with significant meanings! - "},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cbr \/\u003E  \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/nnx41dP\/41219132.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"41219132\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/nnx41dP\/41219132.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan id=\"freeText6202913627075204645\"\u003EThe much anticipated new book by international bestselling author Lang Leav.

The way Thorley wrote their build-up was delightful, are they, are they not. I wasn't surprised by every single twist that happened, but that didn't take away from the joy I had while reading. This story, for me, was about the characters and not just the plot. I cared what happened to these characters from the king's death to the fight against the Shadow Society. There was one scene that lost a character that did hurt, I felt my eyes burn with a few tears. \u003Cbr \/\u003EFamily plays such a strong role in this book, it's nice to see two different kinds of family, and how each side deals with these problems differently.
