The concept was amazing. A small town with magical creatures in its forests, a horned-boy asleep for centuries, two close siblings neglected by their parents, and a quest to save their friends and families. 

The execution was shit. There were several plot points that didn’t have enough depth or were merely mentioned just to “add trauma” to the characters. I disliked this book and it was painstaking hard to get through.
