I loved this book. The premise, the characters, the stories, the occasional surprises, the arc, the narratives, a limitless fantasy, the resolutions with some lessons. It had most of the components I love in a book.
I’m not giving it five stars only because I feel it was a bit contrived. Not as contrived as one might imagine with the fantasies he employed though.
And I found the writing wonderful, though not masterful. Five stars has to be reserved for something!
But I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend.
