sassyowlreads 's review for:

A Song for the Stars by Ilima Todd
5.0

I received a digital ARC of A Song for the Stars from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

If for nothing else, I loved this book for being Hawaiian historical fiction which there is not enough of. I love that one perspective is told via diary entries and the other in regular first person. Maile is opinionated and strong and the depths of her love for her people was moving. I may or may not have pictured her as Moana the entire book.
