The Light Princess by George MacDonald
3.0
Very meaningful book and well-written in many ways. The voice is delightful. And it's interesting how this curse of having no gravity and never taking anything seriously has the side effect of never allowing the light princess to truly laugh either...lots of insights here.
However, it's just too hard to have a book this long where the protagonist is completely unlikeable in every way up until 90% of the way through. I think this could have worked really well as a short(er) story. Also, a nitpick but MacDonald has a way of being overly repetitious and drawn out at times. But he doesn't do it too much.
