This is the story novel behind the Magic set Throne of Eldraine. Magic story novels used to be amusingly terrible, but the story folks have gotten serious in the last few years. This one is really good, assuming you like fairy-tale-style fantasy. It’s not going to win any gritty-realism awards, but as a coming-of-age/quest story in a fairy tale world, it’s really good. Bonus if you play the game also, of course, but even without that connection I think people will enjoy this if they like the genre.
