The only good thing about this book was that it was a relatively easy read. Otherwise, the entire plot and the characters are like the yawn-inducing, bland portraits found in some struggling artist's repertoire. Overused, hipster enigma of fabled tales doesn't work here as well as it did in [b:The Alchemist|865|The Alchemist|Paulo Coelho|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1483412266s/865.jpg|4835472]. The result is boring, colourless and instantly forgettable.
