A review by caitlinxreads
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken

4.0

This was not was not what I was expecting. First off, I thought this was YA, but Prosper is actually only 12 (almost 13). Also, the ending was just... wow. Not what was expected.

I enjoyed the characters, plot, twists, autumnal imagery, and the magical aspects. This was an engaging, quick read. I found myself saying 'no' and 'why' out loud a few times while reading.

However, I felt (throughout the novel) that this story seems more like a standalone. Nevertheless, I will likely read the next book to see what happens.
