The Ickabog

This book is mainly about murder and somehow its a childrens book?? Its written as if youre telling a story to a child, okay understandable since its supposed to be a childrens book, but its all about murdering innocent people, political plots, and a country slowly crumbling. Very confusing having such adult concepts told to me as if I was a child. Not reading this to my kids and honestly probably wont ever read it again.

I love the artwork in the book. I thought that was really sweet.
However, I dont think this book is for children.
If youre planning to purchase it for your littles be sure to read it first.
It gets dark and heavy really fast.

Received it yesterday and read it today. Its probably the best thing shes written since the earlier Harry Potter novels. Its imaginative and full of amusing asides, though its quite dark in the middle. It reminds me of Stephen Kings The Eyes of the Dragon.

I read this when Rowling released it chapter by chapter earlier this year. Yes, its a childrens book, and Im a bit older than that, but its a good read, and an enjoyable tale for all ages. Theres friendship, bad guys, good guys, a monster, great illustrations from kids around the world, and, a moral as usual from Rowling, which kids will find hard to miss. Happy to add another JK Rowling book to my collection.

Been waiting for this ever since I started seeing the children’s images on Twitter. Another beautiful book from a literary queen. Even though I’m currently reading three other books, I’ll be diving into this one as soon as I finish posting this review.
Also, a side note to Amazon- please keep the deliverer of this book on your staff for as long as possible. Over a year of being your customer and this one person was the ONLY person who actually went above and beyond. Give that person a raise!
