Review: 

Filena is known as a seer, one who can see other’s futures. Years ago, her and her brother Cian escaped their abusive father and started a new life under the ownership of the Lonan’s. Now Filena works at the West Tribe’s Night Market. There she tells the future for those who pay coin. Every Night Market before opening a fae comes and visits Filena: Rhylen Lonan, a Raven Folk who Filena has fallen in love with. But with West tribes rules they could never be together. Besides she has seen his future, and he is soon to meet his ‘true mate’. 
Little does Filena know that she is actually Rhylen’s true mate. He has known for a number of years and has courted her in secret. One night the Night Market catches fire and Rhylen saves Filena just in time. This set off a chain of events which leads Filena and Rhylen not only together but changing the way the raven folk have lived for centuries.   
     The Nigh Market is a beautiful romantic fantasy that kept me wanting to keep turning the page to see what would happen next. Whether from the fun interactions between characters, the swoon worthy romance between the two main characters, or the interesting world building, I couldn’t get enough of this story. 
     The characters are wonderful to read about. I loved how animal loving and imaginative Filena was. She thought up the best curses, even if she didn’t think she could cast them. Her interactions with her brother, Cian, were fun and sweet. They taunt each other and are they’re for the other when needed most. I would have loved more of Filena and Glenna interacting as they were supposed to be the best of friends. Just seemed it more of Glenna with Cian than Filena page wise. 
     The romance! Oh! The romance. I was squealing so much though the romance in this book. Filena and Rhylen are my new favorite couple. The way Rhylen would do anything for Filena is beautiful to read. I also loved how the two would not fall into the trope of getting angry with the other for holding a secret. They thought through them logically. The treasure between them being buttons is so cute. If I could get another book of just them doing things together, I would be so happy! 
    The world building in this is interesting. I liked how the raven folk live and love as a family. The class system and traditions were interesting to read about, and I wish the book went into more detail. I also liked the mentions of Seren, the city present in the pervious novel Bound by Ravens. But luckily you don’t need to have read it to understand this story at all. But if you have fun finding Easter eggs though out the story. 
In closing the Night Market is a great book with hilarious characters and a swoon worthy romance. So, if you like great character interactions, beautiful romantic scenes, great world building, and racoons who love to steal gloves, the Night Market is the read for you. I give this book a four out of five!
