This is what you would call a "pretty" story--the point of it is not explored through conflict. In fact, everything works out as well as it could, though there is some foreboding. But it's told like a fairy tale, and not one of those Grimm ones that's really a horror story. Hard to pull off, so the award nominations are deserved. This is the first thing by Yoon Ha Lee outside of the Machineries of Empire series that I have read, and I enjoyed it.
