Oh my god, this is an amazing book. I had no idea what to expect going into it, and when I started nearing the ending, I had no clue how it was going to end. There are plot twists that I feel like I should have seen coming but didn't, which are my favorite plot twists of all time. I'm not gonna spoil the ending of the novel, but I will say that up until the last page, I thought I was gonna be crying over a Neil Gaiman book AGAIN. I was happily proven wrong and I cannot tell you how satisfying that ending was. This whole book is just amazing!

It had all the makings of a book that I would love. It felt like an intersection between Harry Potter, Murakami's worlds, and Alice & Wonderland -- but something failed to lure me in. Perhaps I missed the right age to read and fall in love with it.
