My favourite of the series so far. 

I imagine that this would be a great book for someone trying to grapple with grief. The last paragraph gave me chills.

I always find myself wishing the characters in this series were a bit more fleshed out, I struggle to distinguish people at times. The character map at the beginning was really useful for this though. I think that's what would make me give this a 5.

I'm looking forward to the next one coming out!! These books are so cosy and really transport you.

guys…. this series made me feel warm in a “i’m so glad to breathe air and to love people and to feel joy” kind of way— tears were shed
