Just alright. I was confused with the plot but if you take it as a fairytale not meant to make sense it’s more enjoyable. The characters are sweet but not loveable. They learn in either know it all or whiny territory and I don’t feel as though they were really bonding ever. My favorite characters were the cats mentioned. It’s a lovely concept and I like it in theory, so if I think of it as a dream instead of a story it’s nice.
