The Imaginary by A.F. Harrold

2.0

I really wanted to like this book, the story had a lot of potential, but the whole thing just kind of fell flat. The characters were one-dimensional and the story had no depth, you never felt like Rudger or Amanda were truly in any danger. No characters in this book were described well enough to relate too or even love/hate them.
Physically it's a really lovely book, the illustrations by Gravett are wonderful, it's such a shame that the story and characters were so simple. Who knows, maybe 8yr old me would have loved this book.
