Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft
"You know how the things you loved as a child give you this singular feeling that can never be replicated in your adulthood? That’s the kind of nostalgia this book stirred up in me. Suddenly, I’m 9 years old again, watching the Tinker Bell movies on repeat and borrowing the Disney Fairies books from the library. Suddenly, I’m in middle school, crying the morning I logged into pixiehollow.com and read the announcement that they were shutting down.

I was absolutely shook to my core last year when I heard that there was going to be a YA novel coming out in 2025 about Queen Clarion’s backstory and her ill-fated, stars-crossed romance with Lord Milori. Allison Saft did an incredible job at this undertaking, and with such care and respect for the canon, if I might add! You can tell that she truly loves this world as much as it’s target audience. The yearning, the atmosphere, the cottagecore descriptions, the easter eggs to the rest of the franchise…all of it was done so well. As a reader, you truly feel like you are back in Pixie Hollow. Clarion’s coming-of-age felt very realistic and her relationship with Milori, while heartbreaking, was so sweet. I also appreciated how Saft expanded the canon with her own additions to the world-building and lore. Disney, if you’re reading this, please continue to give us more Pixie Hollow content…it’s what the people (me) want!!

With that being said, please excuse me, because I desperately need to go watch Secret of the Wings - IYKYK.


Also, here’s my mini playlist for the book that literally no one asked for :)

“Winter taught endurance—how to hold on to hope, even in the longest, darkest nights.�

This book was everything little me dreamt of. I remember watching Tinker Bell movies growing up, and little me could not by any means understand the weight of Milori’s sacrifice, yet I did. Somehow, throughout that all I cried like a baby because it hurt so bad.

Reading this again it just was everything I think little me needed, it needed to know how deep their love went, how rough and forbidden it was. I went in knowing how it would end and I still came out in tears. I guess in the pixie hollow timeline they are somewhat happy at least.

“It isn’t nightmares that keep me awake, Clarion�

“Through the clamor and seething of battle, she found her true north: Milori.�

“Weighed against your life, they are nothing to me. I would make that trade every time.�

“It would call her home for the rest of her long life.� ]]>
