I didn't realise this was a children's extremely short picture book... I was expecting a 200+ page fantasy book lmao. 5 stars anyway because I live for 🇸🇴 rep

Gorgeous, gorgeous illustrations with an elegant, art deco feel. The story was engaging, though it could have used a little editing, both for typos and for pacing/ flow of the story.
