carla's Reviews > The Boy who was King

I find it hard to write a review for this book, I still can't believe it's over and it's impossible not to get attached to the story and the characters. The main character is called Azure, on account of his eyes, and the reader sees him growing up and learning how the world works, we see through his eyes the dark side of humanity, we suffer with him, we celebrate his little victories with him and we cry with him. Check the trigger warnings before reading it because this book is not what it seems to be, there are heavy topics as well. This book made me think a lot, it gave me so many emotions and after finishing it the only thing I could do was staring at the wall and think about what I've read. I adore the writing style, it's so simple yet so beautiful, I found in Azure a friend and I wished so many times to be there with him to console him and tell him that life is beautiful, that there isn't only pain in this world. I wasn't expecting this book to be this good, it was able to emotionally attack me as only a few books can do and trust me you don't expect that ending, you don't. I highly recommend this book but, as I said at the beginning, first check out the trigger warnings. I want to thank Erin once again for giving me this chance and I want to wish her the best with the release of this book.
