As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

2.0

The premise for this book is quite captivating and unlike anything I've read before, so I was initially quite taken with it. I read the first third of it quite quickly and was anxious to find out what happened. However, Eldon's character soon got pretty old and he never seemed to do much. He was also so angsty and difficult to read about. I will say that the author strung me along quite nicely in that I wanted to keep reading to find out what his wish was - and what others had wished for - but overall, this book wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be. The ending did redeem it in some ways, and this might be better received in its target YA audience.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the advanced review copy of this book.
