The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

adventurous hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am giving this book four stars for the themes/vibes. These themes are right up my alley: family (chosen and blood) and love, hope over all else, good against evil. This book tugged at my heart strings in so many ways.

So it SHOULD have been a home run five star book for me.
But....
....something is off about this book. I think it's the pacing which is incredibly slow. And themes/parts of it that aren't quite fleshed out. I debated giving it a lower rating for these....but the themes win the day. I'm a sucker for a good found family, changed hearts, love over all themes.
