The Wicker King by K. Ancrum

5.0

This book. This book! I can definitely see how this isn't the book for everyone, but it was so the book for me. I read it in one sitting and was completely swept away by it. I loved everything about this book. The plot was so interesting and compelling, the writing was gorgeous, plotting beautiful, characters amazing, relationships majestic. I loved the style this book was written in, it's definitely one of my favourite things to see in books when done well, and boy was this done well. This handled a delicate subject matter of mental health and did it in such a new, interesting, and magical way. I was interested in the story throughout, and the ending had me weeping. Would recommend this book so hard, no matter what kind of books you like. It's the perfect blend of contemporary and mystery and fantasy and tragedy and romance and uh! Wonderful. Amazing. Gorgeous. Perfect. All the words. Seriously, just read this. No guarantees you'll love it like I do, I can definitely see how it's not for everyone, but seriously, give it a chance. If there's any possibility you'll love it like I do, I promise, it's worth it.
