Trip Galey’s writing is beautiful and magical. There’s something unique and whimsical about it. He crafts sentences that have all the playfulness of a poem or song. Reading his text is fun even if the language is difficult or has fantasy terms woven in. I was genuinely just having fun reading his beautiful sentences. 
I did miss some world-building. I still had many questions about how the magic of the world worked when I finished the book. Ultimately, I think this book is about Deri and Owain's love story and the gaps in my understanding of the world didn't affect my understanding of their feelings.
