Mouseheart Book Review

Not much can be said about Mouseheart that hasn’t been said already, but it deserves all the praise given to it. The entire plot twists in on itself too many times to count, surprising and intriguing the reader when they least expect it. Even when foreshadowing reveals itself, the end result continues to shock. The heavy suspense built concludes with events that can withstand it, keeping readers from becoming disappointed. The characters, from angry Pinkie to nervously sweet Pup, both work together in a brilliant manner and represent opposites of each other, ensuring that the reader will be able to relate to at least one of them. The themes, especially one that talks about the blurry lines between good and bad and right and wrong, are well-thought-out in addition to being incredibly presented. This world created could match Rowling’s in creativity and stylistic flair. Every word constructs this beautiful story, yet every word marinates in double meaning. Overall, the novel leaves the reader engaged in that world while questioning their own.

Recommended for anyone who is willing to pull an all-nighter to reach the end of the story.
