This was a fun, sort of cozy fairy tale that was written in a very efficient style. Thanks to the tight storytelling we get right into the heart of the story, and the cast of characters takes off on their quest.
The book was an easy read, there are some interesting characters and quandaries, and I was satisfied with the resolution. Surprisingly it doesn’t lead into a sequel like so many other books from this genre seem to.
If I had any complaint, it would be that at some points it was just a little too cute, and I felt like there was a very specific target audience that the author had in mind when writing this. I don’t think I was in the target audience, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I read this while continuing to read Straphanger by Taras Grescoe. That book is full of statistics and history so it is going a little bit longer than I expected!
