Review ebook The Book of Lost Things
This is kind of a deceptive book. It seems like it could be young adult in tone at first but it is NOT young adult. It’s an adult urban fantasy starring a child. Very cool and immersive, and a bit dark. Hell, a LOT dark sometimes, haha. The lore is very cool, you can tell that the author really loves folklore and all the elements of the world are interesting and believable. Worth checking out if you like magical realism and a lot of bite to your fairy tales. This is kind of a deceptive book.
