Did you love Spirited Away? Did you also desperately need Chihiro and Haku to be reunited at the end of the Movie?
Well then this book is the book for you!

Mina is so incredibly tenacious while also being so incredibly caring towards those around her. I loved her so much.
Shin and his friends have a really interesting dynamic, in how they treat and respect each other but also how they respect Mina and her choices. *chefs kiss*
Then there are Mask, Dai and Miki whose storyline brought me to tears.

This book also has some really gorgeous scenery descriptions, that do honestly feel like they could be something out of a Miyazaki Movie.

TLDR I will be shoving this book down everyone's throat for the foreseeable future, and is likely one of my favorite books ever.

This is such a beautiful story. More than once I let out an audible “Ahh!” while reading. Axie Oh paints such a beautiful world and story in this book. You’re hopeful the entire time. It has kind of a enemies to friends to lovers vibe happening with found family. This is the first book by her I’ve read and I fell in love with her writing style and her use of imagery. I can’t wait to read more of her books! I also need her to write more mythology immediately, please and thank you.
”Wait for me, where the land meets the sea.”

A fun read. It kind of felt like the love between the main characters came out of nowhere though, didn't feel natural to me. But it was still a good book to read. The different type of creatures mentioned in the book were interesting to read about, too, and the side characters were each interesting in their own way.

I really enjoyed this book! It started slow, but I got invested pretty quick. I loved the characters and their development. The last few chapters made me go from really liking the book to loving it!
