The Boy Who Lost Fairyland by Catherynne M. Valente

5.0

I have a new rating system to explain my criteria for a good book. A yes to each of the following questions gains the book 1 star.

1. Is the writing style professional, understandable, and entertaining? Yes. ❤️

2. Are the characters relatable, round, deep, and interesting? Yes. I LOVE this new introduction to Hawthorn as the main character. This series needed something to switch it up and this was perfect. He is so lovable and funny.

3. Are there important and interesting themes, motifs, subtext, and lessons learned, whether obvious or subtle?
Yes.

4. Is the plot creative, interesting, well-developed, and unpredictable? Oh my YES. was NOT expecting anything! So good!

5. Is this a book I would want to own or read again? Yes, definitely!
