Fairy Tale

book cover with boy and dog descending a winding staircase

★★★ ½

I liked this Stephen King quest novel, which to me reads like a love child of his Dark Tower series and 11/22/63. It’s longer than it needs to be, and at times the prose is sloppy. But this story and the (wild!, imaginative, flawed but likable) characters kept me on the edge of my seat. A really enjoyable read.
