Paul GarciaThoroughly enjoyed this book inspired by the story of Chang'E the Moon Goddess. Happy to see there is a second book.
Paul GarciaQuiet. Simple. But able to convey a lot about humanity and relationships. Able to sit in the back of the mind and stir thought and reflection.
Paul GarciaWonderful debut novel. Written with engaging characters, the story explores themes of loss, shame, guilt, familial bonds, found family, transgenerational trauma, lgbtq identity, and self-loathing v acceptance. Indian values and culture around caste, religion, and mythology are also explored. I added this one to my Favorites shelf.
Paul Garcia4.5 rounded up. Engaging characters and well-written. The length of the book was not a problem for me in and of itself; however, the length of the book with the continuous string of traumas, bad choices, and hopeless circumstances started to wear on me. The disappointments and despair that piled one upon the other were offset by an oddly fitting and humorous tone to Demon's narrative.
