Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao

5.0

Water Moon reminds me of the works of Hayao Miyazaki, but for grown ups. It is whimsical while remaining mature, cozy but high stakes, and full to the brim with the most imaginative world building I've read in a very long time. Not a single sentence of this novel is wasted, and by the end each scene comes together like an intricate puzzle. Plus Yambao's writing is absolutely stunning. This is an amazingly creative novel that I cannot recommend enough!
