Really interesting book. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Patrick ness' more than this. It's sad and the descriptions of the locations are so vivid. My one gripe is that it didn't feel quite fleshed our enough towards the end. The castle a d the climax happen FAST and I found myself becoming confused and lost at points. Regardless, enjoyed this and would recommend it

Paper Forests' special edition is out now! Featuring new cover art illustrated by Ksenia Kholomeva, a short story, and some bonus scenes 🍂
This book is a love letter to my dreams: to fish-shaped constellations, fairytales with unhappy endings, and soft boys with bloody knuckles. It’s a love letter to the child in my memories who is still made of magic and monsters and would read fairytales under a chestnut tree. And, most of all, this book is a love letter to the Forest.
Please note that this book depicts issues of mental illness, fantasy violence, mentions of homophobia, self-harm ideation, blood, death, and gore. I have done my best to approach these topics with sensitivity, but if you feel this kind of content may be triggering for you, please be aware.
