A YOUNG BOY IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING FOR HIS FAMILY.
The Girl Who Became a Goddess is a love letter to a young girl from the adult she has become.
I am not overly familiar with Asian folklore, so I adored discovering these stories and hearing some of the tales from that part of the world. The Girl Who Became a Goddess is a pleasing collection as far as the stories chosen are concerned. The slight problem I had with it was the prose. There were grammatical and punctuation errors, and it often felt stilted. I think a little more editing would have made the text flow better and improved my enjoyment. As it is, I am giving it three stars for the great content, but it would have been four if I hadn't struggled to get past the problems in the prose. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of folklore and fairytales.
