It really is a lovely and magical story, although it also deals with some difficult and sad topics and the ending made me shed many tears. Still, it is nice sometimes to have a bit of a cathartic crying session and to come out of it feeling a bit more hopeful and encouraged.
I really liked the characterization and the interactions between characters. I thought that the author did a wonderful job of translating Lily's feelings and fears on the page.
Also, I really appreciated the author's note, it was very nice and moving to learn more about the story's origins and the writing process.
"Take your history, undestand where you came from and who you are - then find your own story. Create the story of who you are yet to be".
...maybe this is how healing starts - small bits of happiness waking up inside you, until maybe one day it spreads through your whole self.
