I was offered a copy of this for an honest review! So thank you again.
This is a coming of age, self discovery novel. It is its own Odyssey for a young girl, then a young woman, than an aging one. When you step out your front door as a young girl and never come home, where could your feet, or life, take you? That is what this novel experiments with.
This was pitched to me as a fantasy, and although it is, it is more so akin to something like Winnie the Pooh than an actual fantasy. And I don't mean that as disrespect. But for a large portion of this I wondered if the journey she was on was simply imagination. The people, places, and things may be made up, but they are grounded in such real things that they could just be slight pretending. And at the start of the book she's just a young girl, so that feeling of imagination is very possible honestly.
This novel deals with the happenings and sometimes woes of life. And although quite similar to ways of life, I did find this to get a bit repetitive. However, the way the author writes the relationships between characters, their quirks, their disagreements, their laughter and fun, were all just really nice to see. It all came across as real.
I find that I did not personally really enjoy this, it was just a little slow for me.
