I think I expected something different.
The beginning of this had me hooked! I was intrigued by the mysteries of Mr. Bowditch and of course loved Radar. š However about halfway through I lost interest.Yes, probably because Radar is saved and then leaves and all of a sudden it feels like a different book. It picked back up for me when the Fair One competition started, but overall I just found the ending a little disappointing š¤·š»āāļø There was also A LOT of unexplained plot convenienceā¦
Overall I did enjoy the themes of the book with my favorite quote beingāYou get used to the amazing, thatās all. Mermaids and IMAX, giants and cell phones. If itās in your world, you go with it. Itās wonderful, right? Only look at it another way, and itās sort of awful. Think Gogmagog is scary? Our world is sitting on a potentially world-ending supply of nuclear weapons, and if thatās not black magic, I donāt know what is.ā
