Really enjoyed this Goose Girl inspired story! Ximena is an engaging character. Through her POV we start to understand the effects of colonialism and the challenge of trying to break the cycle of war. Her magic was also really cool!

Imagine a Legend of Zorro retelling, set in Bolivia, using the South American continent’s modern day political and social problems. That sums up Woven in Moonlight without fail. It is a beautifully written story about a young woman who realizes that the solution is not more violence, but unity towards a common problem.
