DallerGut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee

3.0

I was so excited to read this as it sounded like just my sort of thing, but sadly it fell a little flat for me.

I found Penny incredibly one dimensional and didn’t find her naïvety and earnestness as charming as every other character seemed to. I love a bit of whimsy but the dream maker’s names made me cringe 🫣

It wasn’t a total dud, and I enjoyed the concept, the world-building and the final chapters. I’m tempted to read the sequel, hoping it continues in that vein!
