4.5
Reading 100 pages of this book felt like reading 10. From the first sentence, you are completely transported into a different world, a different era, a modern day fairy tale world. Kelly Barnhill's writing style is nothing short of magical and the entire concept of her story is incredibly unique and something I have never encountered before, which can be difficult with fantasy/fairy tale style books.
Each character was expertly developed and brought something different to the story and despite there being multiple plot lines running off from the main plot line, everything flowed with ease and integrated throughout flawlessly.
I really couldn't describe the book any better than a fantastic modern day fairy tale that everyone should have the pleasure of reading.
