Oh, this book was gorgeous. The worldbuilding, the atmosphere, the plot... everything was just perfect (okay, I did notice one tiny inconsistency concerning the language Argantian, but it really was minor and didn't obstruct my reading pleasure) I was on the tip of my seat and figured out the most of the truth at a reasonable time before the reveal (I hate it when I figure it out to early) I just loved the way I was kept wondering: is any of this reql? Are fairy tales real in this world or not?? Is it just Effy's mind making things sort of bareable? Anyway this book combined a lot of things I liked, fairy tales, literature and architecture. And did so in a beautifull way.
