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.
