I continue to be bowed over by this book. While not much happens at a time, the prose is so lush and gorgeous that I don't really care-- I can feel every word deeply.
This book would be immeasurably worse if it was about a rich princess. The book's commitment to being about a poor woman who has to work very hard to survive makes it truly unique and so flavorful and fascinating.

Incredibly lush and rich prose, interesting world. Reading this book doesn't feel like trying to suck flavor out of cardboard, or like it exists to serve me fanfic tropes in vacuum sealed plastic. I want books to feel like they enjoy being books, and this revels in it.
