a very unique and quick dark fantasy adventure that i consumed in two sittings. there's a dreamlike fairytale/fable vibe to the story that i found enjoyable. the ending was left open in a way that makes me wonder if this is a world the author may return to, and i hope that's the case. the amount of worldbuilding for only such a short book would be a crime
