This is a beautiful little gem of a story and I hope many more people will discover it. I'm grateful to Ace Book Club for featuring it. It's sweet and beautifully queer, mysterious enough to be engaging but still lighthearted enough to be relaxing. Every time I settled down to read, I was transported into the quiet atmosphere of this magical forest, and I came to care deeply about its characters. 
Also, I loved the moral of not giving away your entire heart, and the fact that I hadn't seen it coming from miles ahead. That, too, was really well done.
