I loved inhabiting this world. Pampa Kampana is my hero because of her strength in knowing and valuing herself, her pride in what she creates, and humility when facing her errors. She is unapologetic about her power, but accepts her her limitations and does gain wisdom with her years and experience. Among many topics, this story highlights the importance of stories, creating our own destinies, and the magical power of words. I listened to this as an audiobook, so I would like to revisit it as a physical book someday.
