Perfect old folklore woodsy vibe with truly lovable and memorable characters. Fairytales but grown up and ancient with real danger, but not a lot of gore. 

I just get the feeling that Tesh knows and sees this world so well, and I'm drawn right in with her. The "movie" played in my head the whole time and I had a blast. I love the leads, they are wonderful in their own ways. Tender and gracefully told. Amazing how much she does in how few words. Really, really good!
