      This reads just like a studio Ghibli movie - dark yet whimsical with charming yet somewhat caricaturish characters. I really enjoyed it!
    • 5/5
      This book was so much fun to listen to on audio and the narration could not be more perfect I loved it can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series
    • 3/5
      Slow pace fantasy with interesting premise... hopefully it gets better in the future books and the audiobooks become accessible on ScribD
