The more I revisit this one, the more I like it. I love the tone of the novel. Feels like a fairy tale--but an older, fairy tale for adults. But there is also a lot of humor here. There are magic elements and other fairy tale elements, but it is also grounded in reality in a strange way. Liked that the ending was mostly happy, but didn't wrap everything up in a neat bow. E.g., the witch wasn't entirely one dimensional, and didn't get a traditional villain ending.
