Great vibes, great protagonist, satisfying ending. The horror elements were creepier than expected — I had to stop reading before bed. Mission accomplished, I guess?

Beautiful writing, fascinating character, but the middle section dragged for me. Some of the mythological references went over my head. Still glad I read it — the ending stuck with me for days.

I ugly-cried on the bus. This book is a warm blanket that also somehow dismantles institutional bigotry? TJ Klune said 'cozy fantasy with teeth' and delivered.

I really wanted to love this but I hit a wall around Tom Bombadil and couldn't get past it. The songs, the walking, the endless descriptions of trees — I know this is heresy but it just wasn't for me. I can absolutely see why people adore it. Maybe I'll try the audiobook someday.
