This book was such a refreshing palette cleanser to the kind of super densely set stories I've been reading. 

It felt like reading a fairly tale, probably because of the storytelling viewpoint. It took me a while to piece together what the story was about, but once I did it was very satisfying. 

It felt as if it was told in glimpses and it was just what I needed on an afternoon home sick and looking for a distraction. 

I will definitely continue on with the series.
