Loved the two stories mentioned, and on the philosophical note, I would love to read them once again. The narrator being a dreamer in both stories is relatable. It also gives a food for thought to me- is being dreamer good or bad for oneself?

Loved the story, but I guess the misunderstanding was a little too convenient, but then I still loved it.

4.0

This book was dreamy and magical and immersive and felt like something that I could be a part of, if I would totally believe all the things that were happening in the book. I loved the setting and the part of the allure of this magical and dream-like book is, that it is an awesome book. Despite the setting being really awesome, I felt that the characters would have been more endearing to me.
