A well written tale albeit full of annoyingly convoluted prose. So many eye rolling turns of phrase - "the sky was the colour of scraped eggshell". I assume the effect was to make it feel like a fairy tale as that was a major theme but that is not how fairy tales are written so I just found it annoying and pretentious. There were also some parts to the story that were never wrapped up or explained...
