I fell in love by the second page. The world building is very immersive. It felt very reminiscent of Howl's Moving Castle and The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. It was very easy to empathize with the characters, whether you liked them or not.

Ophelia's journey does seem dark at times, but her character keeps you invested, even when things seem tense or impossible.
