In my third venture into Fairyland, I found that "third time's the charm" doesn't quite hold true. The experience felt more like a series of whimsical short stories rather than a cohesive narrative, and I've already forgotten half of it. Surprisingly, September, our protagonist, seemed rather passive this time around for most of the book.

Despite these shortcomings, the book maintained a lyrical quality, making it a fast and engaging read. Furthermore, it skillfully laid the groundwork for future plotlines, leaving me intrigued about what lies ahead in Fairyland.
