it was amazing
bookshelves: favorites

I never presumed I might enjoy the fantasy journey as this genre is a rarity for me. Now, Mr King managed to convince me we need magic and fantasy and fairy tales .....
The idea behind this novel sounds so simple! And yet, it is Stephen King who knows how to expand it and fill the worlds with memorable characters, both likeable and unlikeable ones, and confront the evil with the good.
I loved everything about this novel, and I think I owe a lot to Seth Numerich whose terrific reading meant that twenty-four hours of listening were really a joy.
OverDrive, thank you!

Maureen Enticing review Beata!


message 8: by Ron (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ron You mentioned how much you were loving this at about the half-way point Beata, and so I had little doubt that you'd enjoy the rest. Seems that a fairy tale can be good for us adults too, especially when written by such a great story teller. Terrifically said Beata.

Kimber Silver Beata, I am itching to read this book, and your terrific review has made that itch intense! The King rides again. :-)

Thank you, Jen! :)) I may not read another of his fantasy novels, but this one, moved me to the core!

Thank you, Ron! :)) I'd say I'm not that easy to be moved by a novel but there were moments that did make my eyes water ... And the genius of SK expressed in creating the fantasy world! I'm in awe, probably because I don't read this genre, or let's say, rather rarely, so I can only admire King's imagination ..


Heidi (can’t retire soon enough) So glad that this was an enjoyable read for you… I believe we all need a little fairytale every once in awhile… 😎

Thank you, Kimber! :)) Couldn't agree more! I think I'll spend my Audible credit on this book, borrowing it and listening once is not enough! Happy reading! :)

Thank you, Heidi! :)) I agree, and I guess I enjoyed this novel so much owing to my being so pragmatic and down-to-earth! A fairy tale was what I needed without realizing that I needed it lol :))


Heidi (can’t retire soon enough) I love that Beata… 😍


Beata Heidi wrote: "I love that Beata… 😍"
Hope you'll experience the same, Heidi! :))


Tina I’m listening to this right now. This is not my usual genre either but loving it! A fantastic review Beata!

Aga Durka I am so glad you've enjoyed this book, Beata! I have a love/hate relationship with Mr. King, and I was on the fence if I should read this one. But I think I will read it after all. :)

Thank you, Aga :)) I admit with his every book I admire Mr King more and more. I'm not setting myself the goal of reading all his books, that's impossible lol but I was surprised how much I enjoyed his fantasy. It's so simple and yet so well-written :) Hope you enjoy this novel! :) Take care, Aga!
