The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two by Catherynne M. Valente

3.0

The first half of this book moves extremely slowly to the point of almost nothing happening. Part of this occurred because the author was deliberately trying to make the reader feel the pain, boredom, and anticipation of the main character.
Once in Fairyland, the full picture started to come into view. Life doesn't always go how you plan. This story has a lot of big ideas about growing up, how choices affect us, and about the importance of being true to ourselves rather than permitting others to define us.
