The Wicker King by K. Ancrum
4.0

Mental health, fantasy, bisexual rep, with a dark feel? What’s not to love?

This book is definitely one of a kind, and as someone who is a therapist who works with adolescents, I felt this book. I was constantly reading into every move, trying to understand and feel what the characters felt.

I recommend the physical book as it includes graphics throughout and as the book gets “darker” the pages get darker. I loved how interactive it felt.

Often I struggle with books that have mental illness Rep as it’s often done poorly with a lot of stigma, however, it was written well and accurately described in this book.

I loved it!
