Really enjoyed this book. An excellent finish to a stupendous series.One word: fantastical!N.D. Wilson does it again!When I first saw the cover of 100 Cupboards, and since I was out of library books, I checked it out. Never did I think I would be so captivated by a lonely boy named Henry, who moves to Henry, Kansas, and becomes best friends with his cousin, Henrietta. At first, I kind of thought it was a joke, a nice, funny book for kids.But when I started reading, I got more and more into it. Before I knew it, the book was finished and I wanted more! Much to my
The 5-star rating is for the series as a whole. There is such a joy in falling into a fantasy world crafted by a person whose worldview I agree with, and whose writing I already respect. I got to experience that joy with this series. I have read N.D. Wilson's "Notes from a Tilt-a-Whirl" and grown in my grasp of how incredible God is, and how truly "magical" this world is in which we live. Examples: Magnetism is an invisible force. Our earth spins around the sun. Muskrats build really thick huts
This is not the most sophisticated review, but here goes:I read the other two books before I read this then took a month off and read some other stuff. Coming back to the trilogy I found the first third of the book to be slow. To put it nicely. There are just way too many pages ab Henry opening the portal of a cabinet with the strength of the world around him as opposed to physically crawling through a cabinet downstairs. Like, alright. I get it already.But somewhere around page 180ish, I read a
Read this before, maybe it was in manuscript. Listened to it again on Audible. Still marvelous.
Who would have thought such lyrical sentences could be written about humble Kansas? I am absolutely captivated by Henry York and his travels throughout the 100 Cupboards. I just started Chestnut King last night and am absorbed already. N.D. Wilson is that rare writer who not only writes beautifully, but captures ones entire attention with his lovely prose! Bravo!
Well, the third book of this series was the best. The character development of Fat Franklin, Uncle Frank, Henry, and Henrietta is amazing. If I ranked the Chestnut King against the other two books, I would have to say it was the best. The picture of resurrection life overcoming death is powerful. I applaud N.D. Wilson's humorous characters (the franks), weak wizards (Henry, Monomouth), use of baseball, movement between worlds, creepy fingerlings, and of course the use of imaginary and real
