Oh. My. Stars. (Did you see what I did there?)
A fourteen page prequel and I got goosebumps no less than three times. Fourteen pages. THREE TIMES.
I'm not as informed about the constellations myths, so it's possible my awe is misdirected, but that has got to be the most beautifully, heart-wrenching explanation for the stars that I've ever heard. And the insightfulness of this child--good god man.
I was dying to get my hands on this book before reading the prequel. Now I'm dying in AGONY. Gah.
