beautiful dark nature references, semi-rich prose & a lovely little easy read. my only real gripe is that it felt like the plot was quite rushed & not fleshed out as much as it could've been for such an immersive world. but this is VES"s first novel (I believe ?) and it's very satisfying to see where her style, ideas, prose & world building came from since I'm such a big fan of her other works.
