Charming and whimsical, the world of the Dallergut Dream Department Store will remind you to slow down and enjoy the magic of your subconscious mind. And that sleep is good, and we all need more of it, and to stop staying out late when your dog is home by themselves.

While it was an easy, cozy read, and I enjoyed all the interwoven magical realism, personally I still felt like something was missing. This might be a literal case of lost in translation, or me being picky about writing styles, but the story didn't flow as nicely as I feel it could have.
