Imaginative YA Fantasy Adventure

Blood Moon Prophecy follows sixteen-year-old Tilly who has been living a Cinderella-like existence with family members in New York City, since her mother died when she was five. Tilly is transported to the land of her birth, is rapidly immersed in a magical world she only dimly remembers and learns of a prophecy in which she is central. She becomes a cadet in a fleet of sailing ships on a dangerous quest to confront the monster who killed her mother. The story is fast-paced and full of high-seas adventure with a fascinating and creative magic system. The characters are varied and interesting; they are so numerous that a character index would have been helpful. I really liked the group of young cadets, all with their own strengths and challenges, that Tilly befriends. Blood Moon Prophecy is reminiscent of Harry Potter, although the story and setting are very different. The reader does not receive all the answers in this book, but this feels like it's going to be a series, so please, bring on the sequel. Recommended for readers who like action-packed adventure, imaginative YA fantasy, found family, maps, magic and mouth-watering descriptions of food.
