Munmun

*This review is based on an unedited Advance Reader Copy provided by NetGalley*
I’m fluctuating between 3.5 and 4 stars with this one. The Borrowers meets A Series of Unfortunate Events meets Gulliver’s Travels meets Noughts and Crosses. It’s quirky and a little bit different and I loved that about it. The first person narrative from the character Warner was endearing and made him rather likeable. I was certainly rooting for him. The plot swept me up and the premise kept me reading. My only qualms were with the length of the book (maybe just a touch too long) and the ending: it left me feeling a little ‘meh’. I do think this book may be a bit of a marmite book for some people. I only like the tiniest bit of marmite on my toast so I neither love it nor hate it which is why this book is like marmite for me!
