Hanna Alkaf does it again! I loved The Girl and the Ghost and I love this one as well. It def made me cry and was a little bit tough to read as my own grandmother passed this year and she was struggling with her own memories before passing. 
I loved all the Malay myth/legends intertwined in a story that discusses some heavier topics. The characters are overall well written and interesting and the story kept me engaged the whole time. I read another review saying this should be a Ghibli-esque movie and I whole heartedly agree. Either Ghibli-esque or Pixar. I would 10/10 watch a movie adaptation. 
Sidenote: loved seeing 2 names of my own family in the story. I don't get to see Malay/indo rep like ever and it's so nice to read from an author who is giving me the representation I've always wanted even though it's a middle grade and I'm a full adult. My inner child is so happy and fulfilled reading from this author every time. I checked out her books from my library but with how much I've loved her stories, I'm going to have to buy copies for myself. Also love the cover, it's beautiful.
