Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy of this wonderful book in exchange for my honest review!~
Fantastica really gave me those "Harry Potter" vibes I've been missing. Like, the mystical land, magical creatures, fun adventures, etc. This is totally a book to read before bed, to relax and let your imagination soar. Although a couple of the stories were a tad slow, they were all pretty short, so it was very easy to read. There were many times that I got lost in the story and just couldn't stop reading.
I definitely recommend this book, and it is one I'll be coming back to again :)
Things I Loved:
-It gave off some "Harry Potter" vibes
-The "story world" was a fun one to be in
-The stories/poems were relaxing to read, so it's perfect to have as a bedside book to read before bed and give you something fun to think about as you drift off to sleep :)
Things I Didn't Love:
-A couple of the stories were a tad slow
In Conclusion:
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, and it's one I'll definitely be coming back to!
