An Arrow to the Moon

This book wrecked me. A gorgeous story that I couldn't put down! Loved the myth, the magic, and the pacing. Highly recommend, especially if you want to sob.

I admit to being a little afraid to read Pan's sophomore novel as I read her first during my Printz year and ADORED it. She is a gorgeous writer and her words are so beautiful and luminous - like the moon!

But I loved this take on Romeo and Juliet just as much. It's a lot dreamy and sad but so worth it.

Just lovely. The multiple POVs really helped move the story along and added a lot of depth without being overly complicated, and the writing perfectly captures those teenage feelings of first love, feeling trapped by the expextations of your parents, and yearning for a path of your own.

What A amazing book! from the lavish descriptions to the Chinese Mythology elements packed in the book, there is really a lot too love here. The writing really kept me engaged and loved the different POVs that we got
in the book. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that I wish the ending was longer! The ending was definitely the best part and I can't believe it was only a couple of chapters! Anyways, read this book if you love Romeo and Juliette, Stars, and some rebellious kids.
