I’m not crying at 1 am you are! When I heard this was Howls Moving Castle with Polish lore I couldn’t pick it up fast enough. I’m happy to admit that it lives up to the Howl’s comparison. I throughly enjoyed this one. It felt like you were in a fairytale and those are some of my favorites I also love the Polish names. Pretty sure this book and the ending will be sitting in my feels for a while and you gotta love that. Endings tend to let me down a lot but this book is an exception to that. I honestly just adored it from start to finish.
Moderate: Animal death, Body horror, Blood, Religious bigotry, and Death of parent
Minor: Fire/Fire injury
