BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. IT MIGHT GET YOU CURSED.
One wish on the stars.
A group of unusual suitors.
A quest to end a curse.
Abigail Crumble lives a quiet life in a simple village. And she likes it that way. Yet, on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Abigail makes the biggest mistake of her life. She wishes on the stars for love without knowing the full impact of her words.
Abigail soon finds her life in chaos as enchanted suitors appear at her door, each professing their undying love for her.
Then, as Abigail uncovers a deep family secret that turns her world upside down, she is forced to make a decision that changes her fate forever. She must leave the comfortable life she’s always known and go on a journey to right the wrongs created by her wish.
But powerful creatures lurk in the shadows. Creatures that threaten not only her life but the fate of her entire land.
Could Abigail’s choice to leave home cost her more than she ever imagined?
Mixing fantasy, humour, and romance, The Watcher of the Night Sky begins the tale of one girl’s quest to rid herself of a curse and discover the reality of being careful what you wish for.

A gripping tale filled with humor and heartache. The characters are well developed, the world building excellent and the prose flows effortlessly.
The beginning starts off kinda weird, but it started to get a groove going, & suddenly I couldn’t put the book down, & even though it has a horrible extreme cliff-hanger ending, I was so engrossed a bought book 2. I would suggest readers give it a bit, not to give up right away, as the story does improve.
The plot is unique, a play on be careful what you wish for. The heroine, Abigail is unique, I was intrigued by her not being so typical of heroines. I think the supporting characters all add a unique flair to the story, & the possible love interest (Clay) is great! This had so many twists & turns I didn’t see coming too. The world building grows with the story, learning along with Abigail about what’s going on.
I liked this story except the ending which left you hanging. Original, good world building, good characters, magic, action and romance.
Good read.
I received this book free and I am voluntarily doing a review. The author has a great imagination and writing style. I couldn’t put it down
I love the concept of wishes gone awry. Looking forward to reading this one!
The Watcher of the Night Sky by Rachel Pudsey is a wonderful story to read. This is book number one in this wonderful series writen by a brand new author that I have not before this story.

The Faelti continues the story of Abigai’s quest to rid herself of a curse. I enjoyed this just as the first book, there is action, adventure, mystery and magic. I enjoyed reading this book, can’t wait for the next book.

What a great world building!
The story follows Abigail, a human different from any other. It is believed that no one should wish on the stars or something terrible will happen but it is just a tale, right?
When young Abigail wishes upon the stars, something unbelievable happens and things turn upside down.
It was a great read with much action and magic and unpredictable situations. Also, I liked how the author takes the recent problem of bullying and throws it in the imaginary world.
I recommend it for any reader and the only complain is: where is the second?
This was an enjoyable read and it is definitely worth a go if you’re thinking of picking it up. The romance was good and there were a good few laugh out loud moments. However, I did find that it dragged in a few places and at a few points I had to re-read what I had just read in order to keep up with what was going on.
