As a fan of magical realism, I expected to thoroughly enjoy this book. Admittedly, I struggled to connect with the story at the beginning. Some of its elements are darker than the magical realism books I have previously read and loved. But the more I read, the more I enjoyed it, so that by the time the end of the story rolled around I was sad it was over. The settings and the characters are so strange and wonderful, I couldn’t help but grow fond of them. After reading the last few sentences, I breathed an audible sigh of relief and closed the book with a goofy smile plastered on my face.
