I really wanted to like this. It did have a lot of potential. Lots of interesting platitudes about what is good and what is evil in this fairy tale universe, with the expectation that they would all somehow be overturned or disproven in the end, but the end was a super disappointing series of illogical random events, neither turning anything on its head, not even conclusively proving the universe’s internal logic. (Although more likely the latter, again, it wasn’t super clear.)
My 7-year old loved it.
