4/5 stars
This was a super short, super sweet little novel. It's set in the world of Language where words live. We follow a young Word who doesn't know it's meaning, once it is spoken it loses it's memory and it needs to find itself by travelling through the world of Language.
Along the way it meets some interesting characters like Mad and his hare friends - easy to see the inspiration for that scene - and some old forgotten words like Looking-glass and Wherefore.
I will say that I thought the Word was going to be something different but I still found the ending satisfying. It was also interesting to read the translator's notes at the end (the original book was written in German) and how some sections had to be changed to still make sense in English.
