I think Catherynne M. Valente has been carrying on a love affair with the moon, because she writes about it with a grace and elevation that is nearly spiritual. This book carries on the Fairyland standard of jaw-dropping imagination, luscious violet-indigo-lilac prose graced liberally with words of wit and wisdom. A pleasure to read.It's just... Book 1 had a wandering beginning. Book 2 over-meandered in act two. And Book 3 feels scattered throughout. From a certain point of view, ...the story is an extended meditation on Time and all the ways that it interacts with the world - money, photography, memories, fossil fuels, lightning, fate, months, and more that I can't recall because it's the middle of the night. Is this fascinating? Yes. Does it quite hang together as a book? Yes, but not as well as the first two did. I can't wait to reread book 4, knowing what I know now.

LOVE IT, WOULD GIVE IT 390,670,000,000,000,000,000,000, STARS IF I COULD. September is again spirited away to fairyland, and finds her beloved wyveary and marid on the moon. They go on a quest to fight a moon-yeti called Ciderskin because he's causing moon quakes. When they finally find him they see he's only acting as a midwife...for the moon. I recommend this to people who love adventure and the strongest of friendships.MoreLess
