The author had a pattern all her own that I caught on to about halfway through, but it was so refreshing to read about a different type of world. My library cataloged it with middle grade books, but it's dark enough that I would move it to teen. Plus, there's so little to ground readers (because it's so deep) I feel like teens would enjoy the unbounded creativity more than younger kids. This is a brilliant book! It's one of the best children's books I have ever read. It's fresh, thoughtful and full of suspense. The characters face and have to made hard decisions, are bound by tribal laws which they always bend to and torn between family and duty. I like the idea of the moon roads, slipping between worlds during the hours of moonlight and searching for places you have to go. But traveling them is not for free. What you need of the moon road might not be given and the moon roads will still take as much of you as they can get, leaving you changed and unaware of what you have lost. I can't wait for the next book in the Moon & Sun series!

In a lot of ways, it holds up better than I would have expected. The concept is solid and fairly well-developed given its target audience, and the conflict feels real and consequential while still being appropriate enough for the protagonists' ages.
I was slightly disappointed that despite the slavery, murder, and genocide that take place, this book is much less scary than I remember it being. Probably a good thing as it is, after all, a children's book. Other than that, he ending is a little cheesy and (in some ways) deeply weird, but kudos to 10 year old me—this one's not bad, like, at all. ( )
