young me would’ve loved this book but now me has learned so much from marikit and her adventures as she goes along her diwata journey. 

this book is such a good book and i believe that whatever age you are, you will surely enjoy Marikit and the Ocean of Stars. it’s a mix of adventure, filipino fantasy, and family. i did shed a tear or two at some part hshshehehdhshs. BUT NO ONE WILL CHANGE MY MIND THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS FROM A FILIPINO AUTHOR AND THE FACT THAT ITS CENTERED IN FILIPINO CULTURE IS JUST SO HEARTWARMING AND AMAZING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
