pam1256 's review for:

The Wicker King by K. Ancrum
5.0

This book was WEIRD in such a great way! The BEST way!

Things I liked:
-K. Ancrum's dedication: This book is dedicated to all the kids whose arms are filled with too much for them to hold, but who are trying their best not to drop a single thing.
I see you and I am proud of you for trying."

-The cover???? is stunning???? I want to make a whole video dissecting it with spoilers.
-The narrator is Charlie Thurston and he has a lovely voice! He seems to be an actor too, maybe? Unless its a name coincidence. But I haven't seen him in anything so thankfully his voice was just for The Wicker King for me :)
-I loved the mixed media aspects of the physical book, even if they are cut out of the audiobook. It makes sense, I get it. I'm just glad I had the physical book too!
-The characters were so flawed and August and Jack were holding on to one another SO HARD.
-I know whenever I reread it I will enjoy it even more and I am excited for that!

Things I didn't like:
-I didn't like how there was so much of the ending at the beginning? There was no more mystery by the end.
SpoilerBut at the same time it WORKS because it shows us that reality was at the base of everything in this book! We lose reality through this book and finally at the end it snaps back to us!
