I enjoyed reading a book where people and other lifeforms (a witch, magicians, a walking tree, a potato(!), a talking owl) live peacefully together. The arrival of people from outside their planet sets a lot in motion, not always for the good.
Lifes are shattered, sometimes almost literally, people have to think about what is good or bad.
I liked reading about power which is forced off and about power which is (almost) undeniable. I liked reading about beings who see things other beings cannot see and are being laughed at. And what it does to them.
I liked the voice of a 'narrator' who did not seem to understand what was happening.
What I did not like was that actually 'the great battle' started halfway the book. For me, it could have started at the last quarter of the story. Yes, some story lines would have to be deleted, but now the span is too long for me.
I had trouble defining for what age the book is. Young adult, I found somewhere. Young adult is to me about the age of twelve, right?
Well, sometimes then the book is too childish, at the other hand the end of some lives is too cruel for a child of twelve (too cruel for a woman like me too, I am 61 years old).
The last aspect is why I give the book two stars instead of three.
