This is not quite my usual fare - more fairytale than fantasy, more historical lit-fic than genre driven, more slow-churning and introspective. It made the reading experience lush and engaging, but occasionally felt less than compelling to me. But I enjoyed the journey, and everything came together very satisfyingly for the characters and themes, delving deep and never taking shortcuts.
