3,5 stars.

After first chapter, I was sure I'll hate this book to the bone, and discarded it for days. Then I finally picked it up and flew through.
It COULD'VE been better - first half goes slowly and I wish that pacing was kept in the rest, instead of suddenly breaking into running. Nonetheless, I'm charmed. And it may be partially because so many things have familiar sound and taste, but screw it, I don't see things of that kind too often in Western books, so I'll gladly let myself be lost in the Wood.
