WOW. I loved reading this. Nicola Yoon's writing was absolutely gorgeous and I loved how she flitted around to different perspectives. I also burst into tears at the very end and needed to calm myself down when I finished. This book hit a really perfect chord with me. I remember The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight being a somewhat mediocre book for me (in fact when I looked up my rating, it seemed the only part I really enjoyed was the heroine's angst about her parent's divorce, GO FIGURE), and I think The Sun Is Also a Star did a much better job with this concept.
Also, it's very cute when a book title shows up within a book in an unexpected way, and this was no exception.

This was really charming and reminded me a lot of the Lumatere Chronicles, which I adored.

It took me awhile to get through this, because I just experienced SO MUCH anxiety while reading this.

Probably more like a 3.5, but the Peter Pan musical is so dear to my heart. I can really see how the style of this novel would influence Cat Valente when writing the Fairyland books, which I now desperately want to reread.

I read this immediately after [b:The Encyclopedia of Early Earth|17412749|The Encyclopedia of Early Earth|Isabel Greenberg|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1366106342s/17412749.jpg|24575084] which was perfect as The One Hundred Nights of Hero builds on the same world and myths from the other novel, including my favorite character from Encyclopedia, the goddess Kiddo. Isabel Greenberg's writing hit such a perfect chord with me. She had wonderful twists on old stories (I loved when 12 Dancing Princesses popped up) and the main narrative of Hero and Cherry was extremely charming and heartwarming. I hope Greenberg comes back to Early Earth and continues to expands its stories.
