Major points for the nostalgia factor. I can't believe I read this so long ago...and also this was totally not my kind of book back then, so idk why I even read it. Very slow-moving but never boring for me. Definitely a historical fiction book for the pacing but the little bits of fantasy kept it interesting. I forgot so much of the plot that I feel like I'm reading for the first time, while also feeling very homey and familiar.
