The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
5.0

This book is wonderful. The female characters are amazing (the male characters are great too, don't get me wrong) and even the villains are complex and layered. The world-building was fantastic as well. I feel like the way heavier themes were introduced was handled really well, the attitude towards death in particular. This novel was written with a young adult audience in mind but truly anyone could enjoy this. What a lovely story.
