4.5

This book is all about vibes. There isn't much in the way of plot, but the writing is exquisite. The writing style creates a whimsical, enchanting atmosphere, and I enjoyed reading it. Though, I suppose it is, at its core, a love story, and there is much less magic wielding than you would expect. Though I do think that this book is amazing, I wouldn't reread it. Perhaps it is just my own preferences, but if you are looking for characters with complex personalities, this wouldn't be the book for you. I do see why people like it, though. 

I couldn't really what the author was trying to convey through the book, though. Perhaps it is simply pure escapism, or I just can't catch the point.
