The Golden Yarn by Cornelia Funke

4.0

It was a little less interesting than the other two books, but no less plot building. It's been a while since I've read, but I think I still remember some key things that annoyed/confused me. Why on earth was Will falling for that tree girl? Like he was literally in the Mirrorworld in order to save Claire, but for some reason he was looking at Ms. Bark over there. There was absolutely no chemistry and when the author tried to force it, it didn't even feel like Will anymore. I did love how the goyle Will was traveling with saw him as a puppy (as he should), and I also enjoyed the twist with the alder elves and Will's birthparents. I was just as shocked/abhorred as Jacob. Somebody give this man a break from horrible father-figures. Also, I hope Jacob's father dies horribly. What a piece of trash.
