The world of this book is so magical. It has a mythological setting, but it's not really a retelling so much as a framework. 

The daughter of the Moon Goddess grew up sheltered but happy on the moon. Her life is uprooted as she is forced to leave to the Celestial Kingdom. You get to go with her on her journey has she meets odd characters, learns skills and magic, and becomes a more powerful immortal. The characters are good, their motivations strong. The setting is perfect for a dramatic yet classic adventure story.

I am so stoked I own the sequel (thanks, daily deals!l
