Review of 'Toy Makers' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

2⅓: 4 for the first third, 1½* for the remainder.

I loved the atmospheric, magical realism, Christmassy start, but the story decayed into incoherence, and was about 50% too long. It's one thing for a story to be deliberately ambiguous in theme and message, but quite another for the author themself to not know what they want to say.
