Compelling Aspect of the Book: The whole book is compelling really. The characters are believable and relatable. The setting is wonderously crafted, as is the plot. It didn't seem as if the author was forcing problems on the characters to keep the plot going, which is an astounding achievement for a book that involves a lot of traveling and few characters for most of the storyline. The interactions and relationships between the characters was well-written. It was all in all a compelling, good read.
Did you finish: Yes
Did the cover reflect the contents: The cover was beautifully simple and perfect. The font was just right and the colors and contrast phenomenal. It provoked curiosity about what the leaf meant in the book. It also reflected the mood/tone of the book quite accurately.
