Well that was lovely. ❤️❤️

Loved this one. Got the audiobook and I just loved the words and the cadence of the book. Such a great fairytale story. Magic and witches and dragons and monsters. And words. Loved it.

Reading this marvelous tale is healing in itself. A modern fairy tale, this is the story of happiness triumphing over sorrow.

Such a feel-good cozy adventure filled with loss and love and way-finding

Not what I was expecting (in a good way). A much more profound fantasy/fairy tale than it initially looks to be. Quite powerful and beautifully told.

Meh.

One of a kind - creative and heartfelt. This would make an awesome Ghibli movie!

I started to get excited when I got to page 300.

Since the plot was slow, monotonous, and the narration had no clue.

The story is exciting, interesting. For me, it's typically suitable for children's bedtime stories—about; good and kind witches, evil witch, dragons, swamp monsters, erupting mountains, conservative elders and unusual adventures and more.

But the plot is slow, and actually there are many lessons to be learned. The descriptions jump around based on the characters. It uses third person point of view.
