Add a CommentA new fairytale and it's amazing.
A quick read, and an utterly charming one. For lovers of faerie stories, Susanna Clarke fans, & those looking for a new read-aloud.
Wicked Nix is hard to talk about without giving too much away. It has an underlying sadness, but its pluck is consoling; and that some magics are more powerful than others. Those familiar with faerie lore will especially appreciate Wicked Nix, but it isn’t required. Lena Coakley knows her craft and all you need to find is the book and sliver of your day.
I mentioned fans of faerie lore and Susanna Clarke. Also, recommended for readers of classic adventures like Peter Pan or Pinocchio; it also brought to mind the more recent Matilda Woods’ novel The Bird, The Boy, and the Coffin Maker.
