A review by malikasbooks
The Murdstone Trilogy by Mal Peet

5.0

I love love loved this book. The part where the agent is describing the High Fantasy "Formula" had me audibly chuckling on a crowded public train. This book is both a loving tribute and a very sharp satire of the genre, but it goes way beyond that. Very funny, very thrilling, very unexpected. I didn't love the ending - way too dark for my romantic heart.
