An incredible journey but not without its obstacles. I will definitely go back to certain chapters over and over again while also never thinking of looking at others, but overall I had a pleasant experience and enjoyed the writing and atmosphere most of all, it made the difficult parts possible to get through and the rest a magical and fun journey to accompany.
It is absolutely a book of its time and place, so that is something I would say any reader interested should also take into account when picking it up, it makes all the difference.
