samidhak 's review for:
The Wicker King
by K. Ancrum
This was phenomenal. I loved both August and Jack so much, my heart kept bursting whenever they did something foolish which was literally the entire narrative.
Honestly it ended on a way better note than I had anticipated. I was preparing myself for a very bitter, tear stained end, but instead I was completely shook.
I would say though, the author mentions how neglect can lead you to do things that could’ve been prevented. Neglect by a parent, a teacher, a friend or anyone, and at the same time it isn’t crazy to ask for help; to reach out. Like Jack had August. However, the only issue I do have is with August, his neglect towards Jack’s condition was equally detrimental. I wish he could’ve realized it sooner. Love is attention, and to much attention can be harmful - those aren’t my words, but the core of them can be applied to August’s behavior in this book.
No matter what though, I don’t think I’ll get over this story anytime soon.
