Thanks to Peactree Publishing and NetGalley for the arc! I thought this book was really fun. It was a perfect popcorn read, like a Saturday morning cartoon of  a book, in a wonderful way. It felt like equal parts Hayao Miyazaki and Polish folktale. It was a kind of cozy magic spirits story about navigating love and grief and connection that was endearing and cute. The pacing was super quick, which was enjoyable for me. I’ve been reading a lot of slower moving fiction lately and it was nice to go through a story that had events and twists and conflicts all zooming by.
