Positives. Harklights reads like a modern children's classic and remixes fairytale tropes with a relevant ecological message. Although some of the tropes feel overplayed (like an evil lady running the orphanage), I can imagine that a child who is unfamiliar with those tropes would be impressed. Especially since the magic and mystery of the Forrest feels fresh and imaginable. 

Negatives. The cover is beautiful and I like the inclusion of images but the style does not suit the story, especially since the pictures are in black and white. They deserve to be as vibrant as the story they accompany.
