meixiaotian 's review for:
The Wicker King
by K. Ancrum
Atmospheric, focused, a bit weird. I liked the effect of the disjointed scenes without transitions or clear sense of how much time passes between them.
I just wasn’t really sold on what August was thinking and why he did what he did—mainly buying into Jack’s delusions and letting the relationship advance this way. And why did everyone also just let it happen? What?
This isn’t a factor in my overall rating, but I also did not like the audiobook voice actor. The narration was good, but the voices for the characters were not distinct and all had this strained quality, which was not at all appropriate for teenagers.
Okay on second thought the audiobook probably made it worse; I didn’t even realize there were non-narrative parts like maps. Maybe I’ll try it again with the actual physical book.
