4.0

Probably my favourite of the 3 Max Porter books I have read recently, but the ending still fell a bit flat for me. I loved the lyrical poetry of the descriptions which Porter excels at, Lanny was such an interesting character, the English village setting was great, Papa Toothwort was a deliciously creepy character. Part 2 was the standout, such a funny, clever and illuminating way of writing that is so interesting to read.
