Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have not read a book like this before.
A secret hidden world behind a ramen shop that you can only get to if you’re intended to. If you have a regret to sell. Where Hana and her dad will trade it for you at their pawn shop.
This is the journey of Hana whose dad disappears. She and a random visitor that shows up the morning Hana’s dad disappears, Keishin, go through a magical journey where they ride rumors, visit the market in the clouds and fold time all in the path of trying to find her dad and understand what happened to him.
This book is incredible. It’s beautiful, visual, magical, and deeply visceral. It will stay with me for a long long long time. If you like Magical Realism, I cannot recommend this enough.
with gratitude to netgalley and Del Rey for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
