Review of 'Das Mädchen, das den Mond trank' on 'Storygraph'

“Noch nie wurde so poetisch über Wahrheit und Lüge erzählt.” Steht auf dem Buchrücken. Was ich aber erst ca Mitte des Buches bemerkt habe. Nein, es liegt nicht an der bläulichen Schrift, die mit dem dunkelblauen Cover verschwimmt. Vielleicht ein bisschen, aber nein. Das liegt eher daran, dass ich dem Klappentext nie wirklich gelesen habe.
Als ich das Buch auf Amazon bestellte, war es noch nicht raus gekommen, also habe ich es eben vorbestellt. (Als es nach ca einem halben Jahr bei mir zuhaus ankam, hab ich es glatt vergessen und mich gewundert, wer mir ein solch schönes Geschenk gemacht hat.)

Auf Amazon gab es jedenfalls keinen Klappentext bei der Produktbeschreibung, nur ein kleiner Inhalt, worum das Buch handelte und ein paar Sätze zur Autorin. Die waren mir aber zum ersten Mal gar nicht mal so wichtig, es war in erster Linie das Cover, welches ich in meinem Bücherregal stehen …

Review of 'The Girl Who Drank the Moon' on 'Goodreads'

Thank you to my friend Diane for suggesting this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It took me a little while to get into it, and there were even a few times I wasn't sure I liked it. But the writing was masterfully done, and by the end, the spell that Barnhill had woven with her words, her characters, and the shifting POVs rang out with such profound love and beauty, I will not soon forget it.

NOT just for kids (and NOT little kids) - but otherwise, I recommend this to all magickal people.

Review of 'The Girl Who Drank the Moon' on 'Goodreads'

This book in my opinion wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I thought it would be about this huge quest that Luna would have to go on to find herself, but it wasn't that at all. There was a lot of conversation in this book, and not a lot of action.
Yes, the little dragon was pretty cute, I'll give it that, but this book just fell flat for me.
