The Girl Who Drank the Moon (Winner of the 2017… por Kelly Barnhill
I feel this was one of the most adorable book I have read ever. Its a book for all ages it was just so great for me. I would read this over and over especially to the grand babies ❤
I read this novella as part of the Nebula finalist packet. The Crane Husband is a disturbing, gothic-tinged meditation on how women succumb to abuse. Though mythology forms a major undercurrent, it feels incredibly contemporary and relevant (which is a tragedy unto itself).
In general, there were good parts to the book, but it was repetetive, with some plot holes.
