this was quite different than I was expecting, but that wasn't a bad thing! it gave me strong Prydain Chronicles meets The Two Princesses of Bamarre meets the rambling quest sections of The Lord of the Rings—all that to say, a very magical and dark(ish) atmosphere coupled with young-minded/stubborn characters that go from being stuck in their ways to learning they can be much more. it definitely reads like YA, but in a whimsical way, not immature. the rhymes, especially, really drove home the vibe of the story. and

that description of the dyke breaking?? I was in tears. it felt so nostalgic and powerful, like a true homecoming and made my heart so happy.

most importantly, though, I had a good time; I would definitely consider picking up more from this author in the future!
