Like many other reviewers, I felt like Nightlights was one of the most stunning books I've ever read, but the story lacked where the illustrations excelled. I enjoyed the overall theme — especially the surprisingly creepy aspects of later story developments — but I felt like something was missing from the ending and I couldn't quite place my finger on what. That said, I can still happily give this 4 stars just because it was so stunning and, regardless of not totally "clicking" with the story, I had a lot of fun reading it.
