3.0

Though I enjoyed this book on the whole and I think it had an interesting concept, the execution felt very disjointed. It was like reading two completely separate books between the first and second halves. The book was 50% exposition and the second half felt underdeveloped as a result. 

Also, the main character repeatedly makes comparisons between the events of the book/the characters he meets and fairytales (thinking to himself). I feel like the reader could have been trusted to make these comparisons themselves.
