This story is, without doubt, a special one. I was immediately swept up in the whimsical wonder of the world that Lillian E. has crafted. Every character – from Hopeful and Jimmy to Tearomay and Arkin – are vividly imagined. I felt like I knew each of them and was experiencing their victories and losses right alongside them. But this is not just a well-written book; this is a powerful story that sweeps readers away to the land of A Thousand Stars, reminding them with every step of the journey that nothing is ever truly lost as long as you have hope. A Thousand Stars is a beautiful debut Christian fantasy novel that you will not want to miss.
