I thought that the ending and the allegory was sweet and hopeful. Considering how dark things got to lead to that point, it felt like a gentle ending that was earned. It made sense and I was satisfied knowing how things got to where they did. I liked how many of the relationships were hard to interpret. There were a lot of conflicting interests and I enjoyed not knowing. The shallow nature of the court proceedings opposed to the people just trying to get by. Overall enjoyed this a lot.

I read a review on GoodReads that was highly critical of the tale in that it wasn’t necessarily rooted in actual Polish fairy tales, though, as a Polish-American who grew up with very little regional folklore (outside of the traditions of the Catholic Church), I appreciated the setting and nod to names of real places in Poland. As a result of reading this, my plan is to dig deeper into actual fairy tales and folklore, starting with The Glass Mountain (recommended by the above mentioned GoodReads reviewer).
