The Lost Story

I've never read The Chronicles of Narnia because by the time I discovered the series, I was already too old for fairy tales. Fortunately, I've now reached an age where I'm old enough to read them again, and while I keep saving Narnia for the future, I'm always drawn to books inspired by it.

The Lost Story has all the elements a fairy tale needs: princes and princesses, knights, magic, special animals, villains, unicorns, found family, romance, second chances, redemption, and, of course, a happy ever after.

This story has one of the most gripping beginnings I've experienced in a while, and I was ecstatic to dive into it. We follow Emilie, who, in search of her big sister, contacts Jeremy, a formerly lost boy with a special talent for finding girls in need. From there, we are introduced to a cast of lovable characters, learn their stories and secrets, and enter a magical world full of wonder and Fleetwood Mac.

For no particular reason, I was expecting this to be a fairy tale for adults and was anticipating something a bit darker. However, this is a fairy tale for everyone, which is exactly as it should be
