The Golden Yarn by Cornelia Funke

4.0

The Golden Yarn is such a magnificent and enchanting tale. There's more magic, more adventure, and so many twists compared to the first two books! I was instantly hooked with a world that's familiar yet brand new. I love the magical creatures and items, how Cornelia Funke weaves all the myths, legends and fairy tale yet it doesn't seem like an info dump. I like how relatable the characters are. The reader gets to know them really well with how the author focuses on the characters' inner thoughts and struggles. Also, I never mentioned this on my previous reviews, THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SO GORGEOUS!

This book is enthralling, with its constant twists and turns that are unpredictable yet it just makes sense. I didn't expect it to end the way it did! There's so many questions left unanswered and I can't wait to dive into the 4th book!

Thank you Cornelia Funke, Pushkin Children's Books, and Edelweiss for the opportunity to read Living Shadows.
