Hard to explain why I didn't love this. The writing was very good, exactly what you'd want in a fantasy tale. It was descriptive, whimsical, very “once upon a time.” However, I couldn't quite connect to any of the characters. I found them flat for the most part. To better illustrate my point, if there was a string of dialogue with no identifiers (X said, Y said), I wouldn't be able to tell who was talking. The plot also slogged a bit. I think it's worth reading for the writing style, but there is better fantasy plot and character to be found elsewhere.
