This was a delightful, cozy little read. The characters were warm and well-rounded, and seeing them deal with the complexities of their lives was rewarding.
We needed more Marcellus, though! He's presented as a major character and an interesting perspective in the early part of the book, and then mostly disappears in the third act. I think it would have improved the narrative to see more of it from the octopus's eyes.
