Over the Moon by S. E. Anderson
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC ebook for an unbiased review.
This is a YA book that is a retelling of The Wizard of Oz, but as a queer Space opera.
This is the sort of book had I read it in my teens, early 20's, I would have so grateful for it.
Yes, it has obvious connections to The wizard of Oz, but the world building and overall plotline were fantastic. The depth SE Anderson manages considering it is a retelling was surprisingly effective.
Some of it was predicable, yet there were also moments that weren't. Not at easy balance to strike. I think that's what the book managed best for me. Balance. It had Dora in a situation that could easily have become a bit of a a trite or hackneyed plot, and it became neither.
This was engaging, vivid, with a gentle balance of queer romance dropped in.
Overall a very satisfying and satisfactory read.
5/5 stars 🌟
