Starry River of the Sky by Grace Lin
5.0
I love this book. I really, really do.
If you've read [b:Where the Mountain Meets the Moon|5983694|Where the Mountain Meets the Moon|Grace Lin|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344265026s/5983694.jpg|6157354], then you'll absolutely love sorting through this tale, recognizing bits and pieces of what you've read before. If this is your first time reading either book, then this one will give you a great insight into the next!
I think my only questions are: if Jiming and MeiLan are Minli's parents, and they eventually live near Fruitless Mountain, then why does Minli's adventure seem so hopeless to her mother? Don't they remember the events of the past with the Moon Lady and the Spirit of the Mountain? Or have generations gone by, and no one remembers?
That's the only bit of inconsistency I found and would like to know (unless I've missed something).
I adore the characters, especially the three-legged toad. Oh, my heart went out to that creature.
Just. Love love love.
Love.
Love.
