Daughter of Starlight by Molly M. Hammond is an enchanting young adult fantasy adventure that takes readers on a journey through magic, prophecy, and self-discovery. Luma, found as a child with no memory of her past, is suddenly thrust into another world where elves suffer under the rule of a ruthless wizard army. Luma must take on the role of a saviour and grapple with an unknown power stirring within her while navigating the dangers of a world she doesn’t understand. As she joins a band of resistance fighters, the truth of her past begins to unravel, leading her toward a destiny she never imagined. With rich world-building and a gripping narrative, Daughter of Starlight is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy.

Author Molly M. Hammond has a clear enthusiasm for creating meaningful moments and stories with heart, and that has resulted in a breathtaking fantasy adventure filled with magic, mystery, and genuine emotion. I loved the immersive quality of the writing and the attention to detail that Hammond uses to create a vivid world with compelling characters and thrilling action. Luma is a brilliant central figure to hold readers' interest, and her speech and thoughts let readers get to know her on a personal level, balancing the elements of classic fantasy with a strong, relatable heroine for a modern audience. The plot events sent to challenge her felt well-paced and logical within the lore of the world itself, and there were always new surprises and discoveries as the mystery of her memories unfolded. Overall, for an immersive, emotional, and beautifully crafted story, I highly recommend Daughter of Starlight as a truly unforgettable journey.
