NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Decent execution of an unoriginal concept, with a lot of heavy-handed symbolism thrown in. It’s been less than two weeks since I’ve finished this and it’s already slipping out of memory.

Be forewarned that the last 100+ pages are blather about the fairy tales that he lifted for use, along with a ridiculously indulgent Q&A with the writer. I had no idea, which destroyed all sense of reasonable pacing.

WORTH CONSUMING!

This was a great book about love and loss and facing one’s fears. I liked the way David’s wishes and fears influenced the kingdom as well as the interesting twists on the familiar fairy tales, myths and nursery stories. I especially liked the extensive section after the main story in which the author describes the origins of these stories, recommends some variations by other authors and then provides the original story.
