The Singular & Extraordinary Tale of Mirror & Goliath: From the Peculiar Adventures of John Lovehart, Esq. | 
pickThis book was peculiar. Mad. An oddity. And that makes it endearing. It's confusing unless you are paying attention. Some will enjoy it. Many will not.
It is a very unique spin on fairy tales.
I loved it for it's strangeness.

so-soFinished this up this afternoon.
Eeeeeeeh. There were times when this book was absolutely fantastic! Sadly, there were also times when it was disjointed and poorly edited. I'm pretty sure I only understood half of what I actually read. Still, I have to say that I did actually enjoy it, it's just that it could have been so much more with just a bit of polish and editing.
2 and a half ⭐'s / 5.
This book is dark and delicious and exactly what I want to be reading right now.
Starting this today - I know nothing about it or the author except that the synopsis on the back cover sounds very 'Neil Gaimany'.

I'm adoring this adult fairytale. Visceral & beautiful, the mysteries enchant. The time traveling narrative is excellent. A shape shifting guardian & a demon death clock girl; funny, shocking, delightful...
so-soI'm not sure... Well. I honestly don't know whether I love this book or am completely puzzled. The story itself, if you can figure it out it jumps around so much, is good. But the way it's written, like a dream, with all the segues into something random, then back. It's given me a headache honestly.
Onwards to the next novel adventure! 1888 Victorian England, a little girl called Mirror and her shape shifting guardian Goliath are being pursued by Mr John Loveheart, for his master, Mr Fingers, the demon lord of the underworld, wishes to eat her. Looking forward to this immensely.🕰🗡
Mr Loveheart takes out a silver pistol from his waistcoat & shoots her in the head. She falls to the floor in a great heap. "The lemon drizzle sponge was a little dry, don't you think?" Mr Lovegood remarks...
"You shot her because the sponge cake was unsatisfactory?" Goliath says bewildered.

'And then one day something changed. Daddy made a mistake. He slapped her across the face and I remember that she was smiling. She massacred Princes 1 to 12. Picked them off one by one. Chopped their heads off and put them on Daddy's dining table...'
THIS. BOOK. 🤔😂
