This book seemed to be split into 3 completely separate stories almost. I got a bit confused and struggled around 200-350 pages in. I struggled going from an odd

fairy tale story

to almost

hunger games style story

and then back to the strange fairy tale story. There was a lot of stairs and I often got confused if what was happening ! It was overall okay ? I enjoyed the style of writing and would read other kings.

I just kept reading because I was worried the dog was going to die !  I’m unsure if that’s good because of the hook or bad because it was the only reason after

mr bowditch dies

- I feel that In. Itself  didn’t do the character justice.
