Simply magical. I'm a sucker for a happy endings and after reading the ending of The Girl Who Drank The Moon, I'm happy to say that I really came to love this book. It speaks of lost, creating new families and reconnecting with the past.
I absolutely loved this book. It was a full, intricate world that reminded me of Uprooted. Although the story is much more innocent and Luna, a lot younger. The protagonist role spans 4 characters whose lives eventually intersect at the zenith of the story.
Luna and Xan's relationship was the key thread throughout the story, and the touching adoptive grandmother-daughter link was written superbly. I was 100% invested in these characters, and yes - totally sobbed at the end. For the loss of particular characters and the end of a wonderful adventure.
Definitely recommend to everyone ages 10+. Younger could also read it but may miss the intricacies of the characters and plot.

Complicated
This work itself is magic, entirely immersive and breathtaking. The prose reads like taffy, slipping over and under itself. Each sentence layers on top of the next, the book’s many plot lines looping wonderfully around themselves, the intricacy a delight to unfold. Will absolutely, absolutely read this masterpiece again, and I cannot recommend it enough.

What a wonderfully, sweet, magical story of a good witch trying to help people amidst a strange community that lives in fear of her. Lovely, just lovely.

slow-paced
A slow-paced story that requires some patience, but the threads mostly come together in the end. I didn’t feel like I quite bought into the world/believed in it enough, and I prefer villains who are a little more morally gray (or at least have more complex motivations other than just being evil).
