The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente

5.0

If possible, I loved this book even more than the first. Valente writes beautiful pose. Expressive, descriptive, playful, gorgeous prose. And her heroine is a strong female. Not a Strong Female where the whole point of it is to show that females can be strong, but a female character that simply lives and breathes equality, courage, and agency. So many sage lessons are tucked into the narrative, so much sly playfulness and so many wonderful vocabulary enhancing word choices.

The story itself is fanciful, engaging, and just plain fun. You really can't ask for much more. : )
