The Return of King Lillian

I really liked listening to The Return of King Lillian on audiobook, it is a fantasy/fairytale book and I enjoyed the magical elements to it. The storyline itself was strange as it starts kind of in the middle of the story, in the forest of Forgetfulness, so obviously she doesn’t remember anything prior to arriving in the forest, and then the beginning is explained at the end, but it did tie up a lot of loose ends and wondering at that point, why she was banished in particular. The main character Lillian tells this story, and she does actually tell it by telling a book about her adventures while writing in it, I did like this element a lot, like a diary of sorts and each chapter she told about another day another adventure all while on her journey to find her home

It is definitely something I think middle-grade age kids would like to read or listen to but also older kids and adults too.
Overall it was light and I enjoyed the adventures.
It was also nice that the author also narrated it.
