The first third of this book feels like classic King. While conventional, it remains strong. I wish that held through the turn. Fairy Tale is full of reassurances that the author is aware of the similarities to stories you've read before. This comes across as a bizarre lack of confidence for King.
There are other faults—namely the repetitive allusions and references to the untold insecurities of our main character. These put the book's length on display. As we neared the end, fatigue from cringeworthy fantasy and romantic speech peaked. Otherwise, I found this an immersive and enjoyable story from the master.
