It is not book for everyone (which is something Rothuss repeatedly mentions on every occasion he gets).

Definitely not something you would expect from your usual fantasy. And yet, somehow, it became one of the best books I have read. Whenever I am asked about what exactly this book is, it is very hard to explain. But it is very easy to admit what weird, yet calming, magical, beautiful imprint it leaves on your mind.
