And I rarely say that, but I mean it this time.
I had a hard time getting through this one because it felt very much the same as book one. Clara goes back into the woods, meets some fairytales that have gone awry, figures out who the bad guy is (who is obvious from the start) and saves the day. Which was practically what happened the first time.
There was also a forced issue in the romance. I think it was trying to add tension, yet it didn’t come across as such. I wanted to love them and that never happened.
It was overall just a dry read. I don’t have much to say because I hardly felt anything while reading other than I was ready to be finished with this book.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy
- Language: low
- Romance: closed door
- Violence: moderate
