Chameleon Moon by RoAnna Sylver
3.0
This book has it all-- mystery, romance, intrigue, friendship, action, puns, magic...
Have you ever felt that no matter how pleasant and cheerful you try to be, your emotions were building up inside you like explosions, waiting to burst and hurt the people you love? Have you ever met someone whose voice was so powerful it warmed you from the inside out, or seemed like it could knock down a building? Have you ever found a talent inside yourself, a talent for creating things, that feels like you're literally able to give your creations life?
Have felt like your own worst enemy was the stuff inside your own head -- anxiety, depression, and other illness -- and wished you could punch it in the face, like the mean bully on the playground?
This book takes those metaphorical ways that so much of us experience life and makes them *literal*: through magic and superheroes; through the setting of a dysptopian literal hellhole where beyond all sense, hope and compassion still bloom; through a diverse array of imaginative characters with disabilities and superpowers and demons and fierceness and, most importantly, love.
This is a heartfelt, sentimental book that culminates in a *painful* action-packed climax sequence with characters you've come to love being put through hell, but overall it's still a book that just feels *good* to read.
