Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.
No idea about the story, but the writing is juvenile and a fantastic example of telling, not showing. Truly awful descriptions, very "holy exposition, Batman".

Starts off as a cute/bizarre preteen fantasy-horror, but devolves into a convoluted mess of underdeveloped tropes and very heavy handed morals. Boring, predictable and disappointing.
