Hana's father has been preparing her for the day when she will take over the family business. They own a pawn shop that trades in mistakes and regrets and it's finally time for Hana to be in charge.
That first morning, she wakes up to find the shop destroyed and her father missing. To top it all off, her first customer come waltzing right in. Hana needs to find her father, help this new person, and keep out of reach of the Shiikuin (the magical, mechanical entities in charge of the realm).

Water Moon is a story I want to read again for first time— it’s damn near perfect. The world is whimsical and unique, the plot is engaging and the characters are like able.

I love this world of magical origami and transportation puddles. There was never a dull moment, and luckily, the story did not go in the direction I initially thought it would.

Early on I had suspected Hana and Keishin shared the same mother. That after she was exiled to "the real world" she created a new family, had Keishin and then left them too.

In hindsight, the ending actually isn't all that surprising but I didn't predict it and it was completely satisfying.

I loved this book so much that I preordered a special edition from Satisfiction book box.


I was given an advanced copy for review, all thoughts are entirely my own. Thank you Del Rey and NetGalley for the opportunity.
