fraeyalise 's review for:

An Arrow to the Moon by Emily X.R. Pan
2.75
dark emotional sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I really wanted to like this book, but it was so slow and meandering. It was hard to get a grasp for the characters, and the ending was super sudden and very vague. Lots of magical realism. 

A lot of the relationship building between the two was glossed over. There were a couple scenes but their romance definitely didn't shake the earth or however it was described in the end. 

I did like the blunt talk about periods. That was refreshing to see.
