[Allison Morrell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this book is fantasy, it is soft fantasy. There’s magic but it’s not a heroic quest with sword fights and battles. There aren’t magical powers overtly used against the forces of evil in an over the top epic way or conclusion. The author’s style reminds me very much of Alix E. Harrow’s writing.
There are stories within stories which I loved, there are romantic elements but they aren’t the focus of the story, and above all the characters, symbolism, and other literary elements stay with you long after you finish.
I read this book because it was recommended by a colleague. It is his all time favorite book and I can see why.
The audiobook has 5 different narrators and it was superbly done.
