wortknistern 's review for:
The Wicker King
by K. Ancrum
the first 40% blew me away, couldn't put the book down. then i got into a reading slump and i had to force myself to read it. The second half was just meh. I think i was extremely frustrated that everything could have been avoided if they hadn't ignored / trivialized the mental illness. also the two protagonist's relationship is super unhealthy and it really annoyed me. all in all i think this book had a lot of potential but sadly didn't really make any of it. to end on a positive note - the design of the book is actually stunning, maybe one of the best i've ever seen: in the beginning the pages are white with black writing, then as Jack spirals into his mental illness the pages turn grey and when it gets worse the pages are black with white writing. looks really cool!
