This is a very light-hearted fantasy novel. It feels like the author wanted this story to feel like home for the readers. But it didn't do it for me. It was cute and chill but it didn't feel like home.
The writing style is interesting but the plot was confusing and almost felt like hastened. I did like how every small detail in the beginning made sense in the end but the plot still felt like brain vomit.
I loved the setting and the characters individually, though.
Comparing it to the Ghibli movie, the movie is definitely better. But it is still an interesting and light-hearted read.
