While this book is not visually descriptive, I found my imagination taking off with the scenery. This, combined with the wholesome and somewhat relaxed storytelling, made me think, "this would be a nice Miyazaki movie" on more than one occasion. I liked the characters and their development but something about the writing or translation brought the word "mundane" to mind. I would still recommend it. I know if this were a movie, I'd adore it.
