The Wicker King
by K. Ancrum
BEAUTIFUL. I am entirely in love with this book and don't know if I have the words to describe it.
I wanted to stay lost in Jack and August's fantastical relationship well after the last page (was in late night tears at the end)
August and Jack have always been close despite their differing social groups but when Jack starts suffering from severe hallucinations, there's no way that August is leaving him to deal with it alone. Together they embark on a quest shaped by what Jack sees in this parallel fantasy world.
This was full of characters that were vividly strange with no explanation that I absolutely loved. The whole thing had an ethereal feel to it that I could sense form the first page. The actual book as well was stunning with the pages getting darker as Jack and August's mental state and relationship deteriorated.
To end this stunning story, K Ancrum wrote a letter to the reader. I'll leave you to read it yourselves but it had me in tears. This is an incredible book about love, about neglect, and about the lengths we would go to to help our friends.
