There’s something charming about this book… almost child-like. A kiss of magic touches each each story from the attempted invention of a flying machine, to the near-death/afterworld experience. This book feels like a dream.
The dialogue is a little cold, which feels like something lost in translation. Characters are underdeveloped, which motivated my rating.
Thank you NetGalley and Henry Holt for the advance reader edition.
