“Don’t look so discouraged,” said the boy. “You aren’t dead yet. That’s a distinct advantage over just about everyone else in this castle.”
This book ended my months long book dry spell (there’s a specific term for this but I can’t remember it). Although
This was not the most well written book and it was full of holes, I found the plot and story telling engrossing. There was also just a tad too much descriptions, and I found myself skimming a bit.
For some reason the romantic scenes in this book made me uncomfortable and I’m not entirely sure why. It may be because I thought their relationship happened too fast or something tho.
This was a unique retelling of Rumplstiltskin mixed with a little bit of Inkheart, I think. About a centuries old mysterious castle, a cursed boy, a cruel villain, and a girl who lies.
