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.
