This is definitely a book that younger readers will be captivated by but there is plenty to like about this magical tale for people of all ages. Forbidden to leave her island, Isabella Riosse dreams of the faraway lands her father once mapped. When her closest friend disappears into the island's Forgotten Territories, she volunteers to guide the search. This book is absolutely gorgeous from beginning to end. Set in a beautifully imagined parallel world, The Girl of Ink and Stars is Isa’s tale. She is such a strong and fierce character and I’m sure that she will be an inspiration to many young girls. This is truly a tale of strength and love whether it be family or friends both of these themes run throughout this book. The Girl of Ink and Stars is one of those rare treasures that is as gorgeous on the inside as it is on the outside. After initially eyeing this up as a cover buy and then hearing nothing but incredible things about this book I finally jumped straight in and I loved every second. The Girl of Ink & Stars maps the journey of a courageous girl who, on her quest to learn the truth behind the legends of her island, may herself become legendary before her adventure concludes.
even though the writing was really good, I think from my personal preference I just didn't enjoy it and wasn't really interested The night was hauntingly clear. The stars revealed their places in constellations and the moon’s pull felt physical on my short hair. Something was happening to the very air we walked through. It was tense, alive and threatening, the island in the grip of forces shifting imperceptibly beneath my feet. I love this book! It shows the amazing power of friendship, this book urged me to read all of the authors books for children and they were all just as fantastic! PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Girl_of_Ink_n_Stars_-_Kiran_Millwood_Hargrave.pdf, The_Girl_of_Ink_n_Stars_-_Kiran_Millwood_Hargrave.epubI would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading myths, fairy tales, and folklore, or books about girls who are steadfast and loyal friends saving their world together. (And who doesn't love that?) Il linguaggio è semplice ma non per questo banale ed elementare, anche se è un romanzo fantasy la vicenda sembra quasi realistica, fatta ad eccezione per alcuni casi. Isabella believes the legends of Joya are factual. Her interest in confirming the truth of Joya’s history – namely, that the girl-warrior Arinta really did save the island from a destructive demon – is strengthened by her father’s profession as the island’s only mapmaker. She absorbs his artful profession with the same fervor as dried parchment soaks up ink, learning as much as she can about map-making and reading the stars. Becoming a mapmaker shapes and enriches her character, and a beautiful comparison is accordingly drawn between mapping topography on paper and our lives being mapped on our physical bodies. The Girl of Ink and Stars is a stunning debut, full of myth, magic and mapmaking. Hargrave has created an utterly original world, complete with political intrigue and fascinating myths and beliefs.
Kiran Millwood Hargrave did a brilliant job of keeping her readers hooked and getting them emotionally connected to her characters.I found this book to be kind of average - it was fantastical and beautiful in places and a little more brutal than I was expecting. I think because this book is so short I didn't feel connected to the characters which really effected my reading experience. really good book, shows me the power of friendship and how much bravery can cost you. the only criticism: it's quite a slow paced, hard going book to read for my 9 year old! although overall i would recommend this book for many ages though above 10. The Girl of Ink and Stars was a haunting, captivating Moana-esque tale - one that left tingles up my spine long after I'd finished reading. Despite societal expectations for her gender, Isabella bravely forges ahead. When evidence surfaces that suggests something sinister is poised to devastate the island, Isabella could run for safety. Instead, she defies presumptions about her gender and delves into the darkest parts of the island, moving toward danger, rather than away from it. At this terrifying turn in her adventure, Isabella’s knowledge of maps and the stars is more important than ever. Lupe. who is also ridiculously courageous and awkward and a sweet cinnamon roll like I just wanna protect her with all my soul?? She understood the terrible deeds her father had done and she was willing to atone for his sins by making her own sacrifice. She cared so much about Isa and was fiercely loyal to her... also Lupe and Isa are lowkey sapphic
