NOTE: Some editions on here seem to be a bit "spoiler"-esque for my tastes, but this is the description that sold me on reading it.

2 out of 7 parts of this book were actually really, really good. I loved the Fruit Moon section and liked the Blood Moon, but everything else, frankly, was not good. This book was just hard to read and really threw everything in your face.

This was an evocative audiobook listen that weaves through itself in a satisfying way.
Hunh.
In terms of readability and can't-stop-turning-the-pages-to-see-where-he's-going-with-this, a five.
In terms of the actual ending, which I'm still trying to get my head around, a three.
So we'll call it a four. A mind-stretching, beautifully written, obfuscating four.

I do not know how I feel about this book. Part of me really liked it. A lot. And part of me got to the end and screamed, “What? Are you kidding me? That's it? Nooooooo!” Hours later I’m still torn and having a difficult time settling on a rating. I think I like the idea of the book more than the actual book.
The stories are told in reverse chronological order, and that worked for me. I really liked each of the stories, but as I got to the end of each one I wanted more. I felt like many of them just left off, rather than ended. I needed to know the rest of that story, but instead it moved onto the next. Then I started liking the next story and it, too, would end. I’m left with SO many questions. Why always the hare? What is it with the Dragon Orchid? What is up with Tor? What is going on on that island? I like that these elements show up in each story, but I don’t get why they do.
Also, I don’t get this as a YA book. At all.

Interesting story, not really what I expected at all. The one thing that I liked about this story is even thought there were so many different stories within the book I liked how each of them came back and were introduced in a different way.
After finishing I thought this was definitely geared towards adults than teens. Not really sure a teen would really enjoy this.
