A beautifully written book. Unfortunately, the plot rambled on and I felt most of the secondary characters were not well developed. I would have loved to know more about Wilson Moon in particular. I liked the imagery and nature descriptors as well.

A story that brings life to completion, and a story with so much more to be told. One that lets my imagination fill in the gaps most satisfactorily.

It felt like parts of the stories dragged on and other parts were too quickly brushed aside. I wish the author had spent a little more time building up characters towards the beginning, and the ending seemed very abrupt. It feels like the author was just trying to set it up for a sequel, but it was deeply unsatisfying.

A beautiful, coming-of-age story full of wonderful heart-warming moments and completely heart-breaking ones. I cried.
I'm not sure how historically accurate some parts were, but it was so beautifully told that it didn't bother me.
