Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao
4.0
adventurous dark mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

From the dreamlike cover to the Ghibli vibes and the dark fairytale quest inside, Water Moon fills the brief of a book that takes you right out of this world. At its core, though, it's about choices, regrets, legacy, fate, self-discovery and self-determination — which brings you right back into this world, but maybe a little wiser for having made the trip.
