This is a story that is bound to stay with you!❤
"If one does not remember being, or the learning and growth required to be, does one exist?" - @erinmcluckiewrites , The Boy who was King
The author has herself mentioned before the very first chapter that this book is filled with heaviness. And I completely agree with her! And she has also mentioned that the heaviness is not without purpose or intention - it all makes sense in the end. And yes it did. It truly, totally, and completely DID!😔😌
What would you do if one day you wake up in a strange land with no memories of your past???😳
This is the story of a young boy who wakes up in a village with no memories of his past. A woman who he found to be very motherly named him Azure.
Azure experiences love, loss, and life! He experiences joy, hardships and tragedies. He goes through emotions which he is himself unaware of. And we can't blame him for that as he is a little six year old. As he grows, the world around him changes. He falls in love, makes friends, experiences heartache and witnesses tragedies. The author has beautifully explored every single relationship. The raw emotions keep you totally immersed in it.
To be honest, I felt for each and every character in this book. They are all so vulnerable and flawed. You will either be completely mad at them or would want to give them a tight hug!❤
The end completely shattered me. But as the author has mentioned, it all made sense. It's a beautiful, enlightening and heartbreaking read. There is a lot of symbolism in this book and I truly appreciate it. It clearly reflects how well researched this book is!☺️ I also loved the narrative. The author beautifully transitions from first person to third person POV and that really does magic!🌟
It begins with a poem and ends with a poem too. And after having read it, I felt that the entire tale is poetic!❤
TW: Murder, domestic violence, animal abuse, human trafficking, child abuse
The Boy who was King will be out on March 20, 2021. I would like to thank the author Erin Mc Luckie Moya for sharing an e-ARC copy of this brilliant masterpiece with me and giving me a chance to read and review it.
