This is a book that would be amazing on a high budget visual method. The story and descriptions are vivid and beautiful to imagine. Some twists were identifiable early on while others weren't so apparent. The ending is beautifully depicted as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think that the message that the author wanted to convey was powerful and I really liked how the story ended and all the things we learnt. I really liked the world-building of this book and I was very immersed in it. I really enjoyed the experience!

Whimsical and magical, definitely lives up to the Spirited Away comparison. I’ll admit I had some trouble keeping track of the various bonds and bargains, but nevertheless it was enjoyable, sweet, and high stakes.
