This book has depths I will probably never understand. It was often hard to follow. But it was captivating and left me feeling like I'd experienced something beautiful.

Atmospheric, loved the world building. I actually really enjoyed all the jumping around in time and stories though can see why others wouldn't. Very close to a 4.5 for me but just didn't quite get there because some sections of the beginning did drag on a bit.

CW: Don't bother picking this up if you DNF a book as soon as there's a slight Harry Potter reference in a book bc there's a couple minor ones in here.

This is one of my favorite books of all time. It is a love letter to storytelling and finding where you belong. 

It crushed my heart, built it back up, and flung opoen a lot of doors to feelings.

This book made me fall in love with reading again. A total escape, and actually a pretty cozy read. Every time I picked it up, I would get lost reading for multiple hours. I would highly recommend it!
