4.5 stars. Not sure I loved the ending as much as I loved the rest of the book but I enjoy this kind of fairytale story and this one was beautifully written.

Maybe I just didn’t get it. It felt rushed the whole way, it felt poorly planned often, and the ending was both frustrating and underwhelming. Such a strong idea and central theme, but ultimately left no effect on me other than slight annoyance. I wish it was so much better

The illustrations and the setting of the story are incredibly beautiful and I wanted so badly to be in this world. It reminded me very much of Alice in wonderland told with a mother's troubles rather than a child's. With that in mind though the language was a little too flowery a d poetic at times making the story hard to navigate. A delightful read nonetheless.
