This book does read pretty young (which I expected, it’s a children’s book), but I wasn’t expecting how murderous this book is. Lots of head-chopping, lots of animal death, which to be honest, kids will probably love. I think if I’d come to the story knowing nothing, I’d probably have got more from it if I wasn’t so familiar with the story from the film and other media. Still a fun book, but not my favourite.
