This book was exactly what I wanted it to be. I'd describe it as Piranesi meets Spirited Away with a star-crossed lovers arc—absolutely delightful and completely magical. If I have one main complaint, it's that I would have liked Hana's personality to be a little more fleshed out. I'd also have liked to see a bit more early chemistry and attraction between them. On the whole, though, such a dream of a book.
