I think you would enjoy it! Thanks for reading my review!

This fantasy is interesting and sinister from the beginning with paranormal events and even elements of children’s books mixed in.
This is so interesting! The atmosphere sounds a bit like Coraline. Is that true? Thanks for this review, Prisallen!
I don't know how to answer that as I'm not sure Coraline is. :D Thanks for reading my review and commenting!

Yes, it is. Thanks for the comments!

A fantasy genre,elements of children's stories, two endings, all in one book. On top of that, it's the first book of a series. This would have been an incredible book if it was original work. Great review.
