1) Unexpected romance plot. Ugh.

2) It had “that” writing style that so many contemporary fantasy books have that I just don’t jive with.

I've been a Spirited Away girlie since like. I was born in 2001. This is definitely a mix of Spirited Away and The Boy and the Heron. That being said, this is so imaginative. Almost overwhelmingly so. I feel like I couldn't properly appreciate the imagination because of how fast each element was gone. I also didn't exactly believe in the instant attraction in the love story...but I can't lie, if a pretty girl introduced me to a whole new world and I went on an adventure with her, I'd definitely fall in love instantly too. Little detail but in chapter 45 the romanization of the Japanese text has a few errors
