Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Rounding up from 4.5 because it deserves it. This was a very fantastical story that reminded me somewhat of narnia. It was a short 233 pages and there were a lot of names, and beings, and places mentioned that were hard to reconcile. But I ultimately decided to just let it go and enjoy the story. And that was the right decision. We follow our main character and he grows from boyhood to manhood, the people he meets, and the adventures he has. It was fiercely entertaining and whimsical.
