Book Reviw - The Alchemaster's Apprentice

The Alchemaster's Apprentice by Walter Moers.

Fun, whimsical, with a touch of dark and unique is the best way to describe it. If you're looking for a fast paced read... this isn't it. But that's okay, because I was happy to take my time with it, which I find to be a rare thing with books these days. Sometimes, you just want to know what happens. But with this book, I wanted it to keep going, to see what odd, funny, creepy, interesting things popped up next. I adored the quirky recipes the alchemaster cooked up for our hero, Echo, and adored Echo himself. I"m so glad I cam across this book as it was wonderful to read and adult fantasy that wasn't the usual fair of elves, dwarves and wizards.
