A seventeen year old boy, an old man, and a dog.
Fair warning there’s no horror element to this one, it’s just a good old fashioned fairy tale, but one of the most epic proportions! I was completely engulfed and swallowed up into Charlie’s story. Boy meets old man and dog and to tell you much more than that would be to spoil your reading experience. Fairy Tale is definitely a book where you need to enjoy the journey and not stress about the destination or you’re going to drive yourself bonkers screaming ARE WE THERE YET??? The descriptions in this masterpiece are unmatched, you really get transported into the worlds King has created but it is a slow burn. Sometimes it takes 10 pages to say something that I feel could have been said in 2 sentences but if you have the patience I promise it is worth it. You just have to appreciate the detail that goes into everything the characters say and do. Don’t read it if you’re in the mood for a quick read but do save it for when you feel like an escape.
