The book was very easy to read and I just flew through it. It had me hooked from the start. It has dark themes, but is incredibly magical and mysterious. I loved not being able to predict everything. The story really kept it interesting and tense. 
It is absolutely perfect for a cosy winter evening.

There is an apparent still birth which turns out to be false. The baby is actually ok!

This book was about everything I love about a book—the magical power to take you somewhere else. It was beautiful and a book that I will recommend over and over again and give out as gifts. 

If I could give more than 5⭐️ I would. This one is tied with one other as my favorite book.
