This novel is about a grouchy and elderly fae who looked after an infant. If you love plot-heavy novels, this isn't for you. It's mellow and bizarre, charming; it reminded me of a folklore. If you prefer atmospheric prose over dialogue, you've found the right book for you.
I don't have much to say about this book; it's simply a matter of taste. The pace was too slow for me, and I wasn't a fan of the writing style, which felt like a rip-off of Tolkien's prose—The Hobbit style.
Graphic: Chronic illness, Grief
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Body horror, Death of parent, Abandonment
