The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

5.0

The design of this book is beautiful, as is the story! Isabelle’s journey was fun to read, but you also saw her and Lupe grow as characters. I liked how there were layers to it as well - as an older reader I appreciated the hints of political intrigue and colonialism, as well as the journey to save an island from a fire demon! A perfect blend of myth and reality.

Favourite Quotes:
