I need more of this.

I stepped into Emily's little world not expecting it to be so wonderful. I also did not expect her little green world to flash by as quick as a heart beat.

But, sadly, it did.

It has everything a good story needs. It's beautifully written, has very vivid characters, fantastic lore, and makes you want more.

This story was a gentle walk. Almost like a hazy dream.

2.5 - this is exactly the kind of thing that I should like but this just didn't work for me. the only way that I really know how to explain it is that this feels like an au fanfic where I should already know these characters but I don't.

This was a lovely, atmospheric, folklore novella. Poetic writing and just enough plot for 100 pages.
