The Wicker King

by K. Ancrum

Read March 2025

★★★☆☆

I just finished this book this morning and I think it's absolutely fantastic for YA literature, and I probably would've been *ahem* unwell about it if I'd come across it as a teenager. To the point where I'm honestly a little disappointed that I didn't have it as a kid.

Now though, as an adult, I find it a little short and uncomfortably anti-psychiatry and the twist at the end was a little neater than I usually like my endings.

However,

Man am I a sucker for dark romances. Wowee I forgot how much I like people who make each other worse and won't stop.
