The characters were lovely and I really enjoyed that the story was told by different characters that were inside of an inn, sitting around drinking ale. I also really enjoyed the lovely illustrations!

This book started out strong but then I just lost interest... I would say that this book is definitely worth reading. I hear that the audio book is awesome, so maybe I will try that if I ever feel the need to reread.

Favorite passages:
They called her Gwenforte- which is a ridiculous name for a dog, if you ask me. But they never did ask me, so that’s what they called her.

William, Jacob, and Jeanne, despite their differences, found it remarkably easy to talk to one another. As if, despite their different accents, they had finally met someone who spoke their native tongue.

There are some people in this world who have magic in them. Whose very presence makes you happier. Some of those people, it turns out, are children.
