I run a YA bookclub and this was a book that they chose almost unanimously to read next. What a beautifully written, folktale infused story with so much heart.

I have wanted to read this book for a long time and it has sat on my shelf for almost a year. The descriptions are so lyrical and vivid and Axie really made me believe in Mina’s story. The only thing stopping me from giving the full 5 stars is the fact I wish it were a duology. I want to know more about this world and Mina’s aspirations, as well as perhaps Shin’s POV and more internal struggle from both of the characters. A lot of the time they changed their minds rather quickly and the plot is so fast paced that we don’t have time to dwell on details. 

Overall, I could not recommend this book enough. It is a gorgeous folklore fantasy that has strong Ghibli and fairytale threads.

A remarkably easy read filled with advernture, love, loss, and self-discovery. A story of a young girl wanting women to have the right to choose who they love, how they live and die, and allowing herself and her peers to experience that.

Grief amd loss paired with strength, love and friendship. Effectively told through the eyes of a brave 16-year old girl.

"Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you."

this book is truly incredible. i have never read a novel with such a beautiful message behind it, to take the dagger in your hand and not fear the blade as you carve your own fate, and are the creator of your own destiny. it is a tale of love in all of its forms, and how no matter what, family will always love you enough to let you go. this book will stay with me for a long time, perhaps the rest of my life, and i will most definitely revisit it. how wonderful it is to love.
