3.5. While the story itself didn't fully capture my attention, I have to confess, the lyrical nature of the prose and the atmosphere of modern folklore gave the book a quiet charm. This is a brief read, but the language is beautiful and evocative. It feels less like reading a novel and more like listening to someone tell a tale while sitting on a porch near a forested riverbank. There's a warmth and simplicity to it that lingers, even if I didn't fully connect with the plot and characters.
