Reviews

"What makes Motayne's debut title singular and special is that her kingdom is Latinx, with brown-skinned, curly-haired people and Spanish sprinkled throughout.... Cinematic, plentiful action as well as intriguing protagonists will pull many a fantasy reader, and the richly detailed world will keep them reading." -- ALA Booklist

"This fantasy set in a Latinx kingdom explores the lasting effects of childhood trauma, the destructive potential of grief, and the redemptive power of love.... the stakes are high, Finn and Alfie's reluctant attraction rings true, and a gratifying conclusion paves the way for book two."
-- Publishers Weekly

"A promising debut with unique magic and two strong protagonists among a varied ensemble cast." -- School Library Journal

"This searing, magical Latinx-inspired fantasy pulled me in from the first page and did not let me go. I loved adventuring with brave Alfie and brash Finn, and I held my breath until the end. Nocturna is a magnificent debut, powerful and true." -- Julie C. Dao, author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns

"Nocturna is an exhilarating adventure, bursting with lively, inventive magic and characters who charmed me the instant they appeared on the page. If you want to get swept up in a story, pick this one." -- New York Times bestselling author Margaret Rogerson

"Fantasy fans will embrace the creative worldbuilding and welcome these flawed and multi-layered characters into their hearts." -- Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Shattered Realms series
