Beautiful Words!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 14, 2021

The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a beautifully written, whimsical fairytale that has a lovely moral interwoven into the magic of the story.

Though the writing is lyrical and wonderful, I thought there were parts of the book with unnecessary plotting that did nothing to move the story forward or shape the characters in any meaningful way. The premises of the story is delightful and satisfying. I recommend this book to readers who believe in fantastical, magical worlds. 4.5 stars.

This fantasy is amazing and full of surprises. The power of family love is a major theme, with family both of blood and choice. Wonderful for adults as well as children.

Well written but first chapter troublesome

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 25, 2022

I found the story interesting somewhat repetitive of classics but kept me reading. However the first chapter I found very Erie and too much for the
Minimum age recommendation. Chapter 2 clears everything up but still a child reading
the first chapter may have nightmares.

Better than I first thought

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

I didn't like the story at the first glance. Witch and monster are good, humans are bad and ridiculous. I personally think this is pretty much cliche. But as the story unfold, things turned out to be much more complicated than that.
It's an interesting story, slow-paced, but overall a good one. The magic is purely magical, which I love. I reduce one star for the characters. Most of their arcs are fair enough, actually, and almost every named characters are well rounded. But I somehow feel that they could have been better. I can't relate to them. It is, I think, because of the way they are portrayed. Something is missing.
Anyway, I would recommend this book. It's a good read.

A must read! An enchanting middle grade fantasy!

Hello my book witches!

To forget about reality for a while, I bring you The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. This is a light middle-grade fantasy with witches, magic, tiny dragons and swamp monsters. I absolutely leafed through the pages like a hungry reader thirsting for more. It's a simple and enchanting fairytale that kept me quietly chuckling to myself, while I was lost under waves of various emotions.

A small Protectorate town sits nestled near a volcanic peak, encircled by dense dark forests. The townsfolk believes a Witch lives in the forest who'll harm them all, if a baby isn't sacrificed each year. So they leave the youngest child of the Protectorate, in the forest, as an offering to the Witch. But the witch, Xan, doesn't understand why these people abandoned one of their own in the forest each year. So she took care of them, travelled far to place them in the arms of another loving family who wanted them. But one time, the kind witch fed a child moonlight, instead of starlight. And the child grew up enmagicked, as her granddaughter, Luna. I loved the tiny dragon Fyrian, and the swamp monster Glerk who lived with Xan and Luna. Luna being an enmagicked child, couldn't understand her powers and Xan had to lock away the magic inside of Luna by binding it to her own. Luna's magic will return when she turns thirteen. This also meant Xan will die when Luna's magic comes back.

There's multiple point of views in the narration and that added to the story immensely, making it very compelling for a fantasy read. And the writing was so flowing and almost poetic that I couldn't help but fall in love with this book.

Fabulous

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

I (48 year old but youthful librarian) have just finished reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon and found it an absolutely fabulous and inventive, but also complex, abstract and demanding read. I'm quite amazed that this book is recommended for the age group 9-12 years because it is really rather sophisticated. The author uses beautiful language and carefully chosen words. Just as an aside: the cover illustration by Yuta Onoda is simply stunning and, yes, quite magical.

Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I asked my Mom to buy this book because I was intrigued by the title and cover. I was not disappointed.

As fantasy books go, this was very original. The Star Children, Glerk, Xan, the Protectorate, even the dragons were completely and truly the first of their kind. This is actually quite an unusual feat for a childrens fantasy novel!

The plot was beautiful. It was moving, steady, intriguing, magical and easy to follow (without getting bored!) all in one. I was happy and sad and excited and (strangely) light hearted (This is strange because of the dark theme of the book) mingled together the whole way through. It was a beautiful, memorable read which I will definitely reccomend to my friends.

I found the different viewpoints a great way of keeping each chapter… fresh (is that the right word?). I particurlarly enjoyed the madwoman/Adarra chapters. I found her such an interesting and different character. I also liked Fyrian.

However, my 4 star review comes from this single downside- its quite sweet. Sort of like honey. I found myself cringing in places, it was so lovely and sweet. Love+sweetness+me do not mix. This was the only bad point during the whole story, so dont let it stop you!

It was a magical, entrancing read and I would totally reccomend it for 9-12 year olds.

Well written. Easy read. Good vocabulary for young readers. Short chapters. The audiobook is just amazing! The narrator is exceptionally good! The whole family will be engaged in such a powerful book. Well deserved award winner title. Take into account it’s a fantasy book, that’s all. It really tries to reach all ages.
