soundingsea 's review for:

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
5.0

This is the most beautiful thing I've read all year. Just stunning. The world is rich and layered and creative, the magic is dazzling and clever and rooted in sorrow, the characters break your heart in the best possible ways. The story feels familiar because of its fairy tale mood, but everything about it is wildly unique. I adored this. Please, please read it!
