Thank you to my friend Diane for suggesting this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It took me a little while to get into it, and there were even a few times I wasn't sure I liked it. But the writing was masterfully done, and by the end, the spell that Barnhill had woven with her words, her characters, and the shifting POVs rang out with such profound love and beauty, I will not soon forget it.

NOT just for kids (and NOT little kids) - but otherwise, I recommend this to all magickal people.
