The best word to describe this book is magical. It read like a fairy tale of old, those that were supposedly for children but can break a very adult heart.
The simplicity of the anfylk's way of life balanced against Emma's fears and emotions was a magnificent contrast. I enjoyed the cozy beauty of the village, the forest, and the people, but suffered alongside Emma for all the injustice and doubts she endured.
The end left me brokenhearted. No bittersweet silver lining. Still, lovely.
