Starry River of the Sky by Grace Lin

This was an interesting book to read, it was very different than most other books that I have read. with the artwork that took my breath away and helped me imagine what was going on in the story. Which was amazing because it was such a different writing style than a lot of books. I also found how she separated the legends inside the overall story was such a new idea, it surprised me. It was such a different way of writing and telling an overall story with smaller stories. Rendi was a very interesting character. He was filled with hatred, which made me dislike him at first. But once Madame Chang came and got Rendi to open, I began to enjoy him and like him more. I went from being frustrated with him to sorry for him. The stories Madame Chang told were so interesting and I made sure to read every detail, good thing because you need to recall some of those small details later in the story. Following Rendi to the end of the story was hard because I had grown to enjoy his character so much that I did not want it to end.
