when I read anything for Joanne I feel like I'm diving in the ocean of Imaginations and it's just a matter of few seconds and everything will be real, the story was great for me a twentysomething guy.
Here's a map for Cornucopia I found on twitter, two boys teamed up to draw it and thanx to them for helping me to imagine this kingdom.

I was so excited to read another JK Rowling fantasy book and to support her as an author. I didn’t love this book. I found it juvenile which was expected as it is a children’s fairytale. I though it was fun but I wouldn’t read for myself again. However my 8 year old sister absolutely adored it! She read it 4 times in a row back to back! I would highly recommend this book for ages 6-12.

I read this a little bit before bed each night, and it was bland enough for that purpose. Lots of themes and plot points from HP and other didactic tales included.

When there was a chapter up for free every week, I couldn't get into it as it is a bit slow paced. But my sister has the book so I borrowed it and read it in one go and loved it. And yes, people are the real monsters. I stand by this.

Good Read

I chose to read this book by J.K. Rowling because I enjoyed the Harry Potter series. Although I did not like this book as well it held my interest. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good fairy tale.

The pacing at the end of the book was not great in my opinion, it was such an interesting snowball type of story that it picked up too much speed at the end and wrapped too fast. So that's what cost it a star in my review, but I really enjoyed the story and am glad to have read it. :)
