I did not like this book for a multitude of reasons. I was hoping that it would be much more 'magical' and it just wasn't. I also thought that the was done in such a way that it could potentially be a difficult read for the intended age group. The world building was lacking, as was the character development.

domestic violence from the point of view of a child. It's not super graphic, but is still triggering.
