Que libro tan guay, que bonito, me ha gustado mucho. Este libro lo tuve de pequeña pero no me lo leí, básicamente por que leer me aburría XD, pero hace un tiempo lo vi de nuevo y decidí comprarlo y leérmelo, sinceramente no pude tomar una decisión mejor. Cómo me ha gustado el mundo que crea, es un libro super acogedor, que la magia sea "sencilla",(en comparación a los libro de fantasía más complejos) hace muy fácil y ágil la lectura, que los personajes sean como son y que su personalidad sea como es* hace que este libro no tenga edad, te lo puedes leer con 10 años o con 24 que te va a gustar. Me ha dejado una sensación muy buena, necesito el segundo ya <3
*Con esto me refiero y lo comparo con libros dirigidos a un publico más adolescente que los personajes suelen tener un comportamiento más inmaduro y que a lo mejor cuando se tiene más edad se te hace pesado. Libros que lees con 16 años y te encantan pero después vuelves a leer y han envejecido mal, cosa que con Fairy oak no pasa.

This trilogy is a pillar of my childhood. To this day, I can vividly recall every single detail contained within these pages—the thrill, the perfect whimsical writing, the awe of being thrown into this magical world. I read these books for the first time when I was 8, and I like to think it was my first curious dip into fantasy. Years later, I still believe them to be the perfect cottagecore, magical fairytale novels.
They are a gentle ode to nature and simplicity, a comfort blanket for a cold mid-autumn afternoon. There is just something about Fairy Oak, its inhabitants, and its lore that draws you in. Every single character has a peculiar depth that still stands out to me after many years. The complexity and richness of the writing and world-building have always charmed me and served as a balm for the imagination of that little girl with wild curls who kept reading well past bedtime.
I’ve always had the sneaky suspicion that I found something special when I bought this book at a second-hand fair all those years ago. Just by reading it, I felt like I was being let in on a well-kept, bygone secret. But it’s only now, reading it with new eyes, that I realize the astounding beauty of it all. I have read a lot of books and tales since then, but these stand out for their ability to bring the words on paper alive like the purest magic—from the depiction of the quaint town, the ancient magic and colorful nature, the coziness of the Periwinkles’ house, to the mysterious enemies lurking in the dark.
even the presence of obvious children-like traits, such as exclamations marks or soft-tuned writing does not deter the reading but enhance the innocent spirit of the book in my opinion
The illustrations are absolutely delightful and made me obsess for many years over the quirky fashion and aesthetic of Fairy Oak.
Between these pages, I’ve known friendship, mystery, love, magic, grief, heartache, and so many memories that will always fill my heart to the brim.

Pensaba que en esta relectura iba a cogerle manía a los personajes como pasa cuando lees un libro con 12 años y lo vuelves a leer diez años después pensando que tu cabecita es exactamente igual. Pero a pesar de eso es un libro tan bien planteado que no me puedo quejar. Es tierno y delicado como siempre y no se me ha quedado mal sabor de boca. Estoy bastante contenta de haberlo releído, como añoraba a Vi y Babú.

Uno de los primeros libros que leí de niña por voluntad propia. Aunque no es el mejor libro del mundo lo recuerdo con mucho cariño ya que despertó en mi las ganas de leer y devorar libros, me abrió un mundo lleno de magia que forma parte de mi día a día.
Se que no es un libro para todos pero en lo personal aun casi sin acción disfruté del mundo, me encantaba ver los pequeños detalles sin importancia que por lo que he visto a muchos les aburría.
Mientras que mi hermana era Vainilla yo siempre fui Pervinca, esas brujillas nos hacian sentir identificadas.
Sin duda, aunque ya no sea igual, mi yo del pasado le otorga las cinco estrellas.
