It tackles a few quite mature themes through the wonder of a child's perspective, which is something I don't think I've seen before. It takes place pretty much in our world but with a bit of magic thrown in, some being things that are still magic to us as children, giving the impression that there is magic to be found in the real world, if you look through that child-like lens.
I did also appreciate some of the little call backs to things that previously seemed unimportant.
I also liked that it ends in such a way as to facilitate re-reading.
