Turns out I had read this before but it took until about 40% through to actually recognize it. The implications of the library fascinate me. I liked a lot about this book, even if it's a very straightforward retelling that's just nicely written. As someone with a just-about-two-year-old niece, the ages of the children and their independence here bewilders me. They're like... Almost one when she leaves? Presumably something like 18 months when one of them says a full on sentence? Are they staying on that horse completely by themselves? Only their treatment of cutlery really makes sense to me. Lastly, and this thought did not originate with me, but what are the political implications of a castle reappearing? Is he just rich now?
