Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The element I enjoyed most about this book was the author’s writing style. I can best describe it as Alice in Wonderland meets a Series of Unfortunate Events — clever quips, personified objects/concepts, and a self aware narrator.
⁕ The flow of this story was all over the place. The beginning was way too fast and the middle dragged on and on.
⁕ The main character was overshadowed by Fairyland itself. As a reader who heavily invests in character development, I was so bored.
