The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two by Catherynne M. Valente

3.0

I enjoyed this book. Valente's descriptions were as lyric as ever. This book's Lessons and Morals felt a bit more heavyhanded than in the previous two and there was an odd section about 3/4 of the way through the book where it seemed like the editor fell asleep at the wheel (wrong character names, wrong gender assignment, missing scene setting) which was jarring.

But the over all story was lovely, the abundance of female characters was refreshing, and the rejection of the repression=adulthood model hooray worthy.
