A review by elizlizabeth
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.0

This was basically OUAT but without Lana Parilla's gorgeous prescence. Non-sensical, tone deaf, and historically innacurate af. 

Also what's with David having OCD and suddenly not when it's convenient for the plot?

Content Warnings

Graphic: Gore, Mental illness, and Fire/Fire injury

Moderate: Fatphobia and Homophobia

Minor: Pedophilia

The main character has OCD traits and it's mentioned in the beginning of the book for shock factor. Fatness and ugliness is equaled to evilness throughout. Allusions to queerness as something that's "not normal", but tolerated because gay character is one of the good guys. Can't find bestiality on the list, but it's explicitly alluded to and never stated as morally incorrect.
