It’s an okay book, I just found myself either not caring about what happened to some of the characters or not remembering who they were. I don’t normally have trouble keeping track of characters, maybe it is easier to do so with a print copy of the book.

The amount of times I said out loud, “Wait now we’re adding this into the mix?” Was far too many. The concept has so much potential, but it felt like it missed some of the mark.

4.0

Felt like the "bad guys" in the book needed a little more fleshing out and more background lore to make it more engaging and believable.

Not a bad Halloween read. It's got a lot going on that can be hard to keep track of. Lots of story, not nearly enough time

A spooky October read that I’m happy I picked up. It’s a bit confusing at times, but that didn’t distract me from the character arcs, which really are the highlight of the book.

Tony Barbosa I would die for you. I reallt enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how the whole book was spanning over one night, but sort of felt the children (especially Arthur) were a little underdeveloped.

Additionally, I felt like it was missing some sort of background about Carmun and the Cunning Man. He seemingly kidnaps kids for her but also stops those kids from taking other children? Also, why did he kill Ruth and Zach (not that they didn’t deserve it)?

Very fun Halloweeny book, maybe should have saved for October. Still, even though this review may seem a little negative, I very much enjoyed reading it and that’s the important part imo :) Definitely recommend
