The Child Thief by Brom
4.0
The only thing I don't like about this book is that it doesn't have a beautiful prose. The 1st reason for why I picked up this book is that I thought this would have a very good writing and dialogues but sadly.....it had American writing written all over it. Which made me more irritated. Even Peter's dialogues seemed to be American. *Sigh*
I loved the illustrations!!
Spoiler alert:
I liked how the book took a turn after like 19 some chapters and it went a completely different direction than we thought. One moment I was thinking "Okay, the Captain nd the Devils may actually have a negotiation nd maybe things will be well...." And the next moment BAM!
We discover that Peter already knew the Flesh Eaters' desires. That they only want to get the fuck out of there but he can't let that happen.
We discover how Peter is NOT a good person, all the children have fallen victim because of his obsession with The Lady, he can't be completely blamed ofc,but still.
We discover how The Lady is not as good as she seems. As expected of a Godess ofcourse.
And fuckin Leroy?! I thought we stopped writing those kinda characters like a decade ago?!
God, but I loved how Nick realised what Peter was actually doing to these children which is y it's all the more frustrating that even he couldn't escape that fate! Aaaaahhhhh
Nick's Ending was tragic..... But what about Peter? The author didn't mention what lays ahead for him, he's the Horned One's son, okay, but what happens now that he's not under any influence is not answered.
