Despite the impeccable prose and rich world building, I can't see recommending this book to a child. The world it builds is so unforgiving of differences, and Wynn so utterly disregarded by her brother for so so much of the book. Though they are eventually granted safe haven in the land of the fairies, the entire journey is full of the brother telling Wynn what she can and can't do, and even so at the end it is he who is knighted when Wynn should be the hero. Wynn is crowned a princess, but it still feels unfair. On the one hand, representation is important. On the other hand, this representation feels too problematic to be a pure positive. I'm left feeling pretty conflicted about this story.
