This is a good book that tells a relatively straightforward story in an interesting way. One thing that struck me, in particular, was towards the end, realizing how young the character was that put a lot of the entire plot into perspective for me that was a very nice moment that I enjoyed. The magic and world of this book seem grounded and interesting, able to be built upon if needed or left at the very basics without losing any of its charms.
