kenjariThe Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two
by Catherynne M. Valente
This is the third of the Fairyland books. This time September journeys to the Moon where she is reunited with her friends and discovers that a Yeti is threatening both the Moon and Fairyland. The narrative takes a while to get to the meat of the story, instead concentrating on exploring the Moon as well as September's friendship with A-through-L and changing relationship with Saturday. This one had a couple of plot twists I didn't quite see coming and a couple of really great set pieces. I especially liked the Country of Photography, where photographs are alive, mingling time and space. Valente weaves in really interesting themes of self-definition vs. how others define you, fate, choice, and how time and memory affect us.
