Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms

Author Jendia Gammon wrote on Bluesky:

This is the sequel to my Nebula and BSFA finalist, young adult Lunarpunk novel, THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN (writing as J. Dianne Dotson)

Author/critic Kara Dennison states in her review:

Much like its predecessor, The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel is the kind of post-apocalyptic story we need in this day and age: one full of hope for the future. The ongoing story of Glimmerbright presents a future world that isn't just survivable; it's colorful, exciting, and brimming with life. Nor does this book ever talk down to its younger readers, tackling the difficult in-between teenage years when we aren't sure whether it's us changing dramatically or everyone else. Equal parts futuristic sci-fi, whimsical fantasy, and teen romance, this is a worthy successor to The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern.
