Will be thinking about this for ages. The magical realism is so cool to me, it feels different from fantasy in that it's just what the world felt like back then. Magical happenings and tales told between towns were real. The characters are all EXTREMELY flawed, which is a main draw of the book. The way it's written is exactly what I like. Not too much flowery language, getting to the meat of what's happening.
