i loved this book! at face value, it is a fun, childlike fantasy novel about an imaginary world created by humans' creative imaginations. on a deeper level, it touches on colonialism, systemic racism, discrimination, religion-based division, acts of selflessness, and the true definition of a hero vs. villain. i thoroughly enjoyed the adventure, the comfort of everything working out along the journey, the heartwarming friendships and loyalty from people who evolved from strangers. a few errors in terms of grammar and translation, but overall this book is absolutely wonderful.
