fck if i had a nickel for every bittersweet ending of a beautifully written fantasy involving old gods and clever girls from small towns with superstitious folks, i’d have two nickels…

I really enjoyed the story and mystery. I didn’t realize a lot of what was going to happen. I had a hard time with some of words/names, but got the gist

The vibes of this were immaculate. 
I loved the tension, the howls moving castle/once upon a broken heart character dynamics, and the sweet baby side characters. 
I think all of the lore was really cool and well executed. 
I agree with some other reviewers that the ending felt a tad rushed, and I could have gone with a bit less of the nickname, but overall I really liked this.
