I can't really give this a star rating as I don't think I am the intended audience.
The writing itself is beautiful, the setting is magical and the story is captivating. However it drained me of hope and made me quite upset. I look to books to escape and play pretend somewhere more hopeful and happy, this book is not for that, at least not in the way I interpreted it.
Don't get me wrong it's a very good book, but it's for an older audience who enjoy darker themes and more somber tones. If you are going through a tough spot mentally this might not be the right read.

Might have rated it a bit lower if we hadn't talked about it in bookclub. The amount of layers we uncovered while discussing the book made me love it a lot. Will probably read it again at some point.
