Some books are a complete embodiment of the nature of storytelling. Lyrical, symbolic, thought provoking, timeless. A Shrine upon which to worship the art of narrative. This was one of those books. keith Miller's prose captivated me and the imagery was so vividly beautiful that I was drawn into the story completely each time I opened the book. While my skill with pen and brush follows its own path, there are so many scenes within this novel that beg to be painted.
While not a particularly long novel, fo following Pico on his journey, it felt as if ages had been spanned (in agood way!) and each newly introduced character further enriched and added depth to Keith Miller's world.
I did feel as if Sisi and Pico's relationship did a disservice to Pico's ultimate well-being, and while I may have not agreed with some of the choices made by Pico, I still don't think I would have changed anything about his journey and this novel.
Truly a story built upon stories with such a lovely fairytale feel.
