This is a charming book. The way that we get to learn about Weylyn from others makes him all the more charming. It has a good amount of sweet romance and a just right amount of magic.

This book was so cute. I love the way it is written in the points of view around Weylin. In a way it just shows us how he is affecting people. This love story between Weylin and Mary was tragic and beautiful and the ending was everything i needed it to be.

This book was a slow but steady book for me. I rarely take two months to read a book. I didn't read it slowly because I didn't like it. I loved it! Because I had other books that I was reading with a deadline (a library due date, or a book club discussion) this one kept getting set aside.  Every time I picked this book up again, it greeted me like a friend. As Weylyn says in the book; "Don't leave anything you can't come back to." This is a book I kept coming back to, and I'm almost sad to have finally finished it. The story of Weylyn Grey is part adventure and part magical realism, but it is ultimately a love story. It's about how our differences sometimes divide us, but how love can bring us back together. Told from multiple perspectives, in a series of tall-tale like stories, Weylyn is an unforgettable character that will charm you, confound you, and will capture both your heart and your imagination.

This was a lovely novel. It was engaging enough to read in a single day. I loved the telling of the main character from the perspective of all the people he meets and I loved how intertwined the characters were. There were no major events or antagonists in the book. It was more of a magical telling of how a single person can change the course of your life. I felt really good at the end and was happy I read it. Definitely worth the read. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could.

Magical storytelling with lovable characters. I feel like I have known Weylyn Grey my whole life! His story is sweet and magical and every character that you come in contact with in the story is touched by him in some way...but none more so than myself!
