I think it was okay. I couldn't really get attached to the characters the way that I did in other books by Funke. I felt like I wanted Jason to succeed, but I didn't really feel his quest was natural...or obviously flowed from the story. Something was missing...maybe we can find it in book 2?
When I read Ash by Malinda Lo that felt like a fairytale and when I read Reckless it also felt like a fairytale. It wasn't a retelling like Ash but the world Jacob Reckless escapes to looks to be the world where all the fairytales exist and not the happy Disney versions I enjoyed growing up but dark tales of child eaters, deadly unicorns, and unrequited love. Reckless is a dark tale but a dark magical tale and I loved it. Read more.
