I've already read it not too long ago so I won't be reading it again. But I'm very curious to see what others think about it!
I’ve already read this one, I really enjoyed it. It’s different!! I’m curious to see how others feel about it.
I’m reading Fairytale right now!!! It’s super good so far, I’ve heard mix reviews from different people so I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
The young protagonist's relationship with the grumpy older man reminded me of the relationship in the If It Bleeds story "Mr. Harrigan's Phone." Really well done point of view, interesting characters, and twists and turns. There is some really good epic and often creepy imagery in the fantasy land. Good solid work, but for some reason, King's more Fantasy oriented work doesn't quite connect with me as much as his horror work. This one included.
I got "The Talisman" vibes from this in the best way. It also reminded me quite a bit of Roland of Gilead, my favorite King character.
