An Arrow to the Moon by Emily X.R. Pan

3.0

**3.5 stars ** A cute entanglement of Romeo and Juliet with the Chinese story of Houyi, the archer, and Chang’e, the moon guardian. I know little to nothing about Chinese mythology so this was a cool storyline to read. I had no idea what was going to happen and loved the history of Chinese deities. I loved how it was all wrapped up into a story about two seemingly regular high school teens who fall in love, but find themselves surrounded by strange, supernatural events. It definitely reads like a YA book, but the simple writing and quick chapters can do the fast-pace of the book justice. I did feel like there were too many perspectives in the book and that it could’ve been better focusing just on Hunter and Luna’s POVs. Overall I liked it because I did like the easy cuteness of it all and the unique storyline, but rated it lower because I had high expectations for this book and I don’t necessarily feel like it hit all the points for me.
