DNF At 50% yeahhh no. This is just a poorly written book. The illustrations are great but the story needs help. List of things that don’t work/aren’t done well: characters, pacing, world building, the monsters, suspense, engagement. The story is just lacking overall I see no point in finishing it. I think the biggest mistake is there is too much telling not enough showing. Numerous times the main character has come to some revelation about his past just randomly and tells the reader without showing how he just all the sudden figured something out. Might’ve worked if this story was shorter. But the way it’s going I can’t see how this story could justify 400+ pages. Really a 1star read but I’ll give the extra star for the illustrations. That being said I think kids who are more naive readers might enjoy it.
