A very sweet and relatively light-hearted book. The narrator being a child added a fun adventurous dimension. The last quarter or so is when it really picks up and becomes harder to put down. I would recommend to a friend :)james1star's review against another edition

It was interesting how each character evolved, their backstories slowly unraveled in bits and pieces, through stories and fairy tales.
[Audiobook: I thoroughly enjoyed Joan Walker's narration of the audiobook. I probably would have DNF if it weren't for her storytelling.]
