An enchanting, magical and spell binding tale, one that will ensure readers are hooked as the main characters traverse a labyrinth with a monster Minotaur in the centre.
Edwid is who we first meet as he discovers a crack in his bedroom wall, one that is new and sinister. The crack instructs Edwid to visit an author, who promptly dies when faced with Edwid. We are then thrown into chapter two with Benjamiah, in the present day. Uncertain as to how these boys are connected, I found myself devouring this book in two sittings.
Benjamiah and Edwid live in different times and places but one will search for the other and for the answers surrounding the labyrinth and the history of dollcasting. Incredibly imaginative and filled with suspense, adventure and strange dolls, I am impressed this is a debut.
I can’t spoil this book for future readers but prepare to be thrilled, surprised and at times, terrified.
