If you've read any of T. Kingfisher's books before, you know what you're getting into. This was a fun, adventurous little book. The author does quite well getting into the perspective of a child, and even though Rosa makes some maybe not so great decisions, they all make sense given her age and experience. The world-building was small but fascinating. I loved the idea of magical illuminations.
