K O'Neill has once again created such a soft and whimsical story that I just can't help but falling in to. Whenever I want something nice and comforting to read, I can trust to turn to their books so I was so excited to be able to get an ARC of The Moth Keeper.
Anya is a lot like an young person just trying to find their way in the world, taking up new responsibilities. She also feels so alone even though we see her teacher and friends supporting her along the way. There's also a certain kind of melancholy that comes across so well in the writing and the art, and while it's sad, it ends in a peaceful and uplifting way that makes the sad parts worth it.
As always, the diversity in the story is great and just there, not for any kind of points, but because that's what exists in the world, even a fantasy world.
