#the girl in the moon

[aokuro-san]

Another Thea von Harbou book to love. Or at least I already love it 💘.

If I tell you the truth, I can't find the words.

"The Rocket to the Moon or Woman in the Moon or The girl in the Moon" has been everything she expected and a little more. I have marked and underlined so many things in the e-book document that I would be afraid to actually have the physical version (just kidding, haha, I know how to control myself very well if I want! Also, it is such an out-of-print story that I am grateful for having almost gotten it casually).

I have enjoyed this trip to the Moon so much that I would repeat it a thousand times. Not only because Thea has improved the beautiful, but imperfect narrative structure that I saw in "Metropolis", but because she knows how to give the right, exact amounts of what she wants to offer us, keeping us trapped in a adventure simple, but, in the end, perfect in each and every one of its areas. Science fiction based on the rumors and hypotheses of the time? A cup! A love triangle, much more complex than it seems at first glance, and that influences the plot until a moving finale? Three more cups, my friend! Cosmic horror? Yes Yes Yes! Don't miss out, especially with the terrifying Walt Turner! And how about a dash of gore? Surprising, but let's move

and on to the equally amazing secrets hidden in the lunar mountains!

Guess all that glitters isn't gold, huh, Manfeld?

Anyway, I loved it, people. I already had expectations for his previous novel and the synopsis, but von Harbou has achieved - again - EVERYTHING YOU CAN ACHIEVE IN A READER WITH A GOOD STORY.

I think I'm going to have to classify her as one of my favorite authors, because it's clear that she never disappoints me.

5/5.

i'm one hundred percent certain that after percy and annabeth made out underwater. and he wanted to make their relationship official. the question was not "will you be my girlfriend?" but "can i be your boyfriend?" i don't care what the canon says. percy gave annabeth the space to take the lead in the relationship. because after a lifetime of being abandoned by everyone she dared to care for. and then watching her on the brink of a panic attack at the thought of losing him the last four years. he wanted to honor a new beginning between them by follow her lead and moving at her pace.

there is literally nothing in this world more endearing than a girl who is an absolute loser
