I got to hear about the moomins during the "Moomin Renaissance" on social media and having started the cartoon I decided to give the books a shot.
This one was brilliant, both for kids and adults. The story had the classical happy ending present in children's tales, but I found that it has slightly darker aspects to it as well and that was not something I was expecting.
It's actually 4.5 stars. I loved this book more than I thought I would, can't wait to read the rest of the series!! The worldbuilding is amazing and magical! Everything about the book felt novel, from the main plot to the small things like Kell's coat. I just think the ending was a bit rushed and coincidental that's why it's not a full 5 stars for me.
One of the best short stories I have read
