The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
3.0
I am a huge fan of this author. First her older books (under a different name, which still confuses me), and then I totally loved The Wishing Game last year, one of my favorites of the year. So I was very excited to get the Advanced Copy of this new one from @netgaley and @ballantinebooks in exchange fore my honest thoughts.
I went in fairly blind and didn't really know what the story was about. It is basically a retelling of The Chronicles of Narnia. I admit that I have never read that book either. I'm not always much for magical realism and fairy tale like retellings. So, I don't think I was the correct audience for this one. The writing was really good as always with her, but I just didn't really connect with these characters. I will forever remain a fan of hers and continue to read whatever she writes though. For the right person, I think this would be a great story. Give it a try if you like these type of stories.
