emotional mysterious reflective sad
Literary fantasy that packs a punch, if a reader is willing to meet it on its own terms. It doesn't follow fantasy genre rules for who a protagonist should be, what an action scene should be like, or even what the most important part of the story should be.

I cried more at the end than I did over Never Let Me Go. YMMV.
