While I appreciate a good faerie-ridden voyage of self-discovery, this book was a long, often frustrating trip. Overall, I didn’t connect with the story because it lacked real depth, and that fact was masked, unsuccessfully, by a lot of flowery language. I much preferred Uprooted by Naomi Novik. It’s similarly-themed, but much more interesting, fast-paced, and deeply engaging.
