Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao

adventurous emotional inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

5.0

Water Moon is a beautifully written book that is both captivating and whimsical.  It had me gripped from the beginning and that doesn't happen often for me with fantasy books.  I feel this was because although I was reading about fantastical happenings, they somehow felt completely believable and the pace felt fast. 

The world building in this book is astoundingly magical.  It's a truly skillful author to be able to create a rich and vivid landscape and magical system in just over 300 pages!  I loved the characters too and quickly became emotionally invested in them.  

I also found this to be a thought provoking read, leaving me reflecting on my own choices, regrets and dreams.  I just loved everything about it book. 

My thanks to Random House UK, Transworld Publishers and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC for review purposes.
