This book is a Miyazaki film wrapped in ink and paper. Its world feels a lot like you're traveling through one of his films. I did enjoy this book, though not as much as I hoped. I think the story just plodded at times and it sort of slowed the reading flow. I will say that many of the mysteries in the books were refreshingly a surprise and I think had the pacing been better I'd have rated it higher. However, if you're looking for a cozy book with the feel of Spirited Away, I'd recommend this book to you.
