I read The Wicker King in less than two days. In the end, each must choose his own truth. As Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy in this alternate world, even August begins to question what is real or not.Īugust and Jack struggle to keep afloat as they teeter between fantasy and their own emotions. Jack’s vivid and long-term visions take the form of an elaborate fantasy world layered over our own-a world ruled by the Wicker King. When August learns that his best friend, Jack, shows signs of degenerative hallucinatory disorder, he is determined to help Jack cope. The Wicker King is a psychological young adult thriller that follows two friends struggling as one spirals into madness. I got this book from the library, and I kept it on my shelf for awhile before I picked it up. I knew it was tagged as LGBTQ+ on GoodReads, and that is more than enough for me. I think it was among the new teen releases or something similar. I came across The Wicker King on Indigo website.
