Honestly just a weird read, but I think it would’ve been great if I was 12 or 13 reading it. A good intro to fantasy for someone in that age realm, if they can keep up what all the species and names. My only big “issue” was the weird random relationships the author establishes, I feel like all but one romantic attraction between two people were large age gaps (like the fairy who has lived 1000s of years and the human who is 24) but it didn’t impede my enjoyment, it was just a little icky to me personally.
Overall, this one just wasn’t for me, but I don’t think I fit the demographic anyway. I had read the inkheart trilogy when I was younger and loved it, so I’m sure if I found this book back then I would’ve loved it too. As an adult though, it was a quick read that solidifies I’m not that into fantasy.
