“So long as you can hear the waters, everything seems possible: that the sun is the moon, that a star is a cloud, that dusk is dawn, and everything is both hallowed and haunted at the same time.”

literally can't figure out how to review this in a way that does it justice.

so what I will say is that this book is the most magical, beautiful thing I've read in quite some time. it won't be for everyone due to the fairytale, ambiguous nature of parts of the story - but it was most definitely for me. I'd recommend this to eldest daughters and people who loved Narnia growing up.

enchanting, stunning, and heartfelt; this will stay with me for a long time.
