Possible light spoilers. I am loving this book, even though I am not far. I absolutely love the mythic and timeless feeling I am getting from it. His themes of immortality vs. mortality and exile and longing are fascinating. Also, I am always interested in hearing about his elves; they are just this perfect mix of haunting beauty but luminous.

I cannot describe how much I am already loving it!

This book is my introduction to Ann Radcliffe, and just like her contemporary Jane Austen, I find myself enjoying her work more than I expected. I went in with neutral mindset, not sure what to expect with only hearing secondhand accounts, but I can say I have found myself loving them both. The emotions I feel right now for poor Adeline!
