Hiddensee: A Novel | Gregory Maguire

Pickpick

I quite enjoyed the meandering tale of Dirk Drosselmeier and definitely preferred this to Wicked.
However, I would have preferred to actually see Hiddensee in the book, and have more than a glancing paragraph to cover the actual nutcracker narrative. It would have also been nice to have some closure about the lost forest rather than it being open to interpretation.
I had fun reading it anyway!

This was delightfully magical, though threaded through with a sense of regret, too; that there are realms we cannot visit except with the imagination of a child, though it isn‘t until we‘re well past childhood that we have a proper appreciation for those magical escapes. Like all of Maguire‘s works, this was masterfully-crafted. Definite pick. #hiddensee #gregorymaguire #thenutcracker

Once I spotted this little guy on the tree at work, I couldn‘t pass up setting up a photo op. 😉 Getting a little bit of seasonal reading in during this last half-day before our holiday break! 🎄 #hiddensee #gregorymaguire #thenutcracker #retelling
