The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
4.0
This book is more of a 3.5 star book, but you know. GR, when you gonna allow half star ratings?!
I liked this book a lot. I started it intending to only read a chapter and go to bed, but ended up reading half the book and staying up a few hours later than planned. You know a book is good when that happens. The characters were so well done. Mandanna nailed the uncertainty and fear and rebelliousness and stubbornness of Eva. Not that I've ever been in Eva's situation, but if I were, I could imagine reacting just as Eva did.
I really would have liked more information on the Loom and the Weavers. I was really hoping this book would start a series (I would even allow *gasp* a trilogy! It's THAT well done) but I have a sinking suspicion that this is no series. It's a self contained book, which is great, but I NEED MORE ANSWERS.
I kind of wish it was longer. I want more depth on Mina Ma and how she came to be Eva's guardian (same with Erik - wut's UP with him?)
Beautiful language, interesting premise, great setting and fantastically done characters. Definitely read this one!
