It looks like I took a long time to read this book, but actually it sad on my floor for a couple weeks and then I read it in an hour.
There is a lot to love about this book. The illustrations are dreamy and beautiful, the facial expressions are just lovely, and I love Eartha as a protagonist. She's naive but emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and loyal. I think I liked all the individual characters more than the story they were embedded in. There was something about it that felt a little lacking to me, but I liked the backstory of the city and the fjord, and the general niceness of it all.
