 An eerie, lively, vast yet mysterious world and read. It grabbed my intention and only turned my fascination to sheer confusion toward the very last chapter so I might need a re-read of those last 5 or so pages. I wished I had read it as a child or teenager but I'am glad that the little adult that now am got to experience this kind of magic !

The parallels with manipulations and narcissism are chilling, yet the wonder of brave Coralline are inspiring

It honestly didnʼt read like a professionally published book; it was very sloppy, and while I love the story of Coraline, this didnʼt meet my expectations at all. It felt extremely rushed, even for a kidʼs book. :(
